Not sure if its the pic, but it looks unflattering. Like a hybrid of the S2000 and the Mitsu Eclipse.

I was feeling sorry for you until I read this Now I am JEALOUS!
When I move to WG it would be cheaper to do a track day - no hotel or eating out required

It's been interesting having the S2000 as my daily driver all this week. It's been to the bank, the dentist, petsmart, grocery shopping, all kinds of places it does not usually go.

Got stuck driving in the rain several times but there is actually one thing better with the top up - you can hear the engine more at least.

And a few times like today - the sun came out and I got in some good top down time.

Acura considering re-launching the RSX badge with a vehicle design based on the Civic platform.
http://www.autoblog.com/2011/09/22/a...sed-rsx-sedan/

I wonder if it will hold any real value proposition over the Civic Si. Or maybe it will be called the RS-Z and be a sports hybrid car like the CR-Z
