I mean the RSX was the US Integra. We have "Integra" back already so who cares

I really dont know when this whole full EV “trend” from car manufacturers is going to stop. Clearly, its not selling well, its overly expensive (except some Tesla) and where the batteries will be disposed after its life span?

I think you can see the true enthusiast brands leaning into hybrid as the answer and in a lot of cases using the battery system to make the ICE even better. I'm with you on the full EV. I don't think OEMs really care about the infrastructure and disposal and honestly why should they. If a consumer buys a car without proper support that's on the consumer. I do think the cost of manufacturing them in mass without aligned sales like you said will probably be the downfall.

If it ain't a TYPE R, it ain't a TYTE CAR.

I loved my 2002 RSX Type S but this sounds like another money grab move from Honda (like the Prelude to). It won't have the same soul if its EV or hybrid. RIP RSX

Honda continues to suck there days..

The lede here is that Honda is developing this platform on their own. The Prologue was co-developed with GM. This made me think Honda wasn't planning on developing EVs just yet.

The RSX name is a fail, IMO. They could have called the EDX or KDX to keep their _DX = SUV nomenclature.

But this is what you expect from the idiots in marketing: they knew "the internet" would be pissed at repurposing a sports car nameplate as an SUV, and that's why they did it. They get two-months of virality.
