As a very low mileage RSX-S owner, this really stings haha. The world is going towards boring, bloated EV's and Crossovers. It's completely the opposite of my lightweight, 6MT, basically fully analogue RSX-S.

Zero chance any of these other rumored coupes are going to be released (like the Celica, RX-7, Silvia, etc.). The Prelude will also be a dud as it will basically be a less usable Prius in a sharper body.

So glad the M240ix still exists, as it's the only AWD coupe with a somewhat useable backseat left. At $52K it's the same price as the much less luxury, slower Integra Type S (that disappointed me a lot as well due to pricing).

Would have a hard time convincing me that the backseat in a 2 series is usable. The backseat in a 3 is hardly usable. Put a pain of rear facing car seats in and prove me wrong, lol.

Loved the RSX-S when it came out and I was in high school. This one is just another EV disappointment.

Backseat of the 3 is plenty usable. Not every one needs a massive SUV.

The backseat in my RSX-S is not really usable, except in emergencies.

However, the backseat of the 2 series is somewhat usable in a pinch. If you're 5' 9" or under it's okay for short distances (perfect for date nights, etc.)

So it's useful for early teenage kids, and some girls.

When I had a 3 as a loaner, putting the car seats in the back was a nightmare. Rear facing wouldn't fit behind me, and I'm only 6'2 and sit very upfront and on the wheel. Even putting my son front facing behind me he had very little room for his legs. Granted, the 3 is probably not designed as a family car, but for those of us with kids, it's too small.

Damn shame too, because I really want a manual sedan and M3 is one of the last ones left

Average male height in the United States is 5'9". The 2/3 series backseat is very usable in my experience.

I've only ever had 2 male friends who were under 5'9. One was because he had a disease where he had incredibly low bone density, so his legs broke constantly when he was a kid. By the time I met him he had titanium rods bolted to his legs for support (and yes, it was very painful), but he would have been like 6' had his legs grown properly as a kid.

The other was a little 5'7 kid. He used to get mad that everyone was taller than him and hated it when me or our other buddy who was also 6'2 used to bend down to hear him in crowded/loud bars. He threw that stat out a lot, but I always found the average to be more like 6' to 6'1.

I suspect the number is skewed by some people who are really short, and the median is much higher.

So very sad.

The number would also be equally skewed by some people who are really tall. I'm going to assume you are trolling at this point.

There's a lot more people that are really really short for various reasons than very very tall. There's people with dwarfism in far higher quantities than there are people who are 8' plus tall to skew the numbers back.

Median vs Mean is an important thing for everyone to understand because without that context, statistics are just fabrications.

And your N number is important for that reason. If the average is taken from 150MM+ men in the US, it is safe to say that your occasional outliers will have little effect on the final number .

Back to the car, not my cup of tea. Do not hate the styling but I am not yet in the EV camp. That, and the last Acura I owned chewed through transmissions. Pass from me.

This is a very odd take...

Anyway, I can't believe they are bringing back the RSX name as an electric SUV!! I was very hopeful that with Honda bringing back the Prelude, that we might have seen a Prelude (Civic) based RSX Type S that had more power. Ugh.

Is t the new Prelude a bastardization of that nameplate too? It's like supposed to be a fairly low power hybrid right? Like a Honda Insight more than a real Prelude?

Likely gonna use the 206hp Civic/Accord/CRV hybrid powertrain which has proven to be faster than the SI from 0-60

Sick.

This will be a nice addition to the NSX SUV cabriolet bound for 2049.

I can't wait until they use the NSX name on a 300hp electric SUV with a red H. The firestorm will be great.

It's supposed to get a decent economy/sporty engine but then they are pairing it with a "sport" cvt womp womp womp. That's why I was hoping the RSX would be the Prelude but with a manual and a better engine. Oh well.

Just like Ford did with the Mach-E. A dumb joke hard pass GTFO
