Based on the Acura Performance EV Concept, the all-new Acura RSX will be the first model engineered on the new Honda-developed EV platform and mark the launch of the new proprietary ASIMO OS operating system introduced by Honda at CES 2025. Importantly, the all-electric premium SUV also will be the first EV produced* at the Honda EV Hub in Ohio, which is scheduled for production later this year.

The mustang model of taking a beloved small coupe and turning it into a crossover

Honda and Acura's naming is all over the place

Prelude is actually a Civic coupe

Integra is an overpriced Civic hatchback

And now the RSX name is being used on one of those horrendous coupe crossover thingies.

I feel so bad for honda fans…. bring on Nissan for real…

At this point, Acura might just make a full-size SUV and call it the NSX…

I got confused. I read "RnX", saw the picture of a chunky car that obviously looks like another crossover SUV, read "exceptional lineup of premium SUVs", and thought RDX.

But I am happy to see that Honda will be building real cars at its Ohio EV plant and not props for another sci-fi movie about a dystopian future.

Why not also make it a hideous EV while they at it. Oh wait, Ford already did that, lol.

Can't wait for people to datamine planned death camp coordinates from its GPS.

Truly the volkswagen of our age.

I don't know if it's just me or not, but the new lights and bumpers on this refreshed Model Y makes it look more like a Chinese knockoff of a Model Y rather than making the Model Y look newer.

Check out this Automotive News article.

Tesla makes all of its models in the U.S. That could help if Trump drops the tariff hammer

Tesla is the industry leader in domestic content, making all of its models at U.S. factories. That could partially insulate the EV maker from Trump's tariffs.

This part was wild to me:

Tesla’s domestic content led the industry at about 80 percent in 2024, according to a December report by American University’s Kogod School of Business. Honda was at 63 percent, and General Motors and Ford tied at 54 percent. The Made in America Auto Index includes parts, labor and other criteria for its estimates, the report said.

CR-V what?

https://www.carsdirect.com/deals-articles/acura-zdx-lease-now-5-mo-more-than-honda-cr-v

Acura's most advanced vehicle can be barely more expensive to lease than a Honda CR-V. Based on our analysis of dealer incentive bulletins, 2024 Acura ZDX lease prices can cost as little as $5 per month more than a CR-V. This could present shoppers with an amazing chance to upgrade to an all-electric vehicle.
