Put on a rally wing and you have it. It'll probably be over 40K though. Still, the RSX would have been perfect. It's a lighter frame to begine with and has a sportier image. Honda cut it because it was too much cheaper than any other Acura. Throwing in SH-AWD would have bumped it up to the 30K mark and it wouldn't compete with the TSX.

Thinking along the same vein, Honda also needs to build a 4-liter or bigger DOHC i-VTEC V8. Stock makes 350 hp with redline of 7500 RPM. Si makes 400+, redline 8000 RPM. Type-R makes 500 and a 9000+ redline. Put that gem into the next S2000 and NSX(with SH-AWD of course) to make it famous, and the Ridgeline, Pilot, MDX, TL, and RL to make it profitable. Honda already makes V8s for ALMS, IRL, and F1, so it already knows how to build a good V8. Come on Honda, beat Ferrari at their own game! The best part? In 5 years, these motors will be at most $5K in the junkyards, since they won't be rare (well except for the Type-R edition, but since when are they ever cheap?).
