The new RSX will slot right under the existing ZDX electric vehicle in size, and it will be the first EV to be designed by Honda and built at the new Honda EV Hub in Ohio.

Acura will revive its RSX nameplate later this year for an electric crossover, the automaker has confirmed.

Yes, the Acura RSX was a sports coupe, and an electric crossover is not a sports coupe, but come on. Unless you owned one in high school or college, is the RSX name really that important to you? It existed for like five years and then disappeared.

Remember when Acura announced plans to bring back the beloved Integra name, only to later reveal that said Integra would only be sold as a five-door hatchback? Well, it's happened again. Acura has announced that the RSX badge — the one used instead of Integra on the final generation of three-door Acura sport compact coupes sold in the U.

The Anna Engine Plant will be where the megacasting for Honda’s new Intelligent Power Unit (IPU) is made.

Acura is bringing back another classic model … name. On the heels of the return of the Integra and ZDX names to the brand’s lineup, Honda-owned Acura has announced that its first homegrown electric vehicle will be called the RSX.
