The 2012 Honda Civic is now out, but there’s more to this story than just being able to drive a Honda. The previous rumors that indicated a new compact luxury sedan coming from Acura, seem to be true, with multiple Internet sources indicating that the latter carmaker is developing a RSX sedan model based on the new Civic.
It seems that the Acura RSX will come with multiple changes, so we won’t just get a rebadging job. The car is even expected to grow in size, in order to raise up to Acura’s luxury standard.
The new RSX is expected to come as a 2014 model year car, with the arrival of the new model potentially causing the TSX to be dropped, as the cars being offered together would bring too many front-wheel-drive models in Acura's range.
