    RSX I guess. I'm not a fan of either.
    I agree with cmcpokey, a Mini might be a good alternative. Prolly more economical, too.

    totally with you on the clio cup, with one exception.... the dude's flag is an american one, and we are a bit short on french cars at the moment.

    You could go to our southern neighbor and pick up one, but I dunno about legalizing it.
    I'm dropping out to create a company that starts with motorcycles, then cars, and forty years later signs a legendary Brazilian driver who has a public and expensive feud with his French teammate.

    Sorry but unfortunately there's no type R here in the states either.

    We've got the type S, but it just doesn't live up to the type R's the rest of the world gets

    you can really pick 'em.

    original minis are scarce and very expensive. you could pick one up for rather cheap until the new mini came out and created a boom for them. there are also some gray market type Rs out there, but very expensive since the Fast and the Furious came out and created a boom for them.

    remember... the reason why we americans all buy crap cars is that we dont have access to good cars.

    For further content; my vote goes to the Acura RSX. For starters I've always been partial to them visually (girlie car, seriously?) and from what I've read they're a better driver's car. More powerful too. Also, from what I can gauge, especially with the 2006, the RSX has seen more substantial updates during its lifespan. The Celica seemed pretty neglected throughout its unfortunate lifespan, though I don't dislike them completely.
    i was waiting on a moment, but the moment never came. all the billion other moments, were just slipping all away. i must have been tripping, we're just slipping all away. just ego tripping.

    I say RSX. If you want to display a lack of testes go with the celica.

    fair enough. out of these two i would side with the honda then.
    aftermarket for both is good,but the honda has more 'focused' parts available imo - even if you just start putting in 'jdm spec yo' stuff in.

    I'm guessing he hasn't driven them either.

    VWs are gay.

    But yeah, I'd go RSX. I wonder why?

    Maybe he wants to know if both cars offer transparent windows as an option...as far as I know they do but maybe someone could just check up on that?

    He won't be steaming up any windows in a Celica, so maybe he should go for that one.
