Acura is dropping its entry sport coupe from the market this year, it says, as part of a plan to move the brand upmarket with BMW as its target. While the RSX Type-S resonated with young enthusiasts for its high-revving 200-horse four, the cheaper 2006 {{{Honda Civic}}} Si matches that performance. Another possible reason for the drop is there appears no replacement for the Civic-based hatchback coupe, sold in Japan as the Honda Integra. Lowest-price Acura next year will be the $28,000 TSX sedan; rumor is Acura may introduce a coupe version of the TSX when it's updated in 2008.
