LOL! The Isetta really was Way Back When. I remember an episode of the
original Alvin cartoon show in which an ostrich mistook an Isetta that Dave
had just bought for an egg and was trying to hatch it. I was about ten years
old and didn't catch the humor. A few years later I saw one parked in our
neighborhood and then I understood.

RSX came after the Integra,which was last made in 2001.

Well, I bought the 1999 new in early 2000, ... naw, still doesn't
work, does it? Probably test drove the RSX on some service visit to
the dealer, I had the CL for a four-year lease. Then later drove the
TSX which was still pricey then, but went with the Accord.

The whole Acura marketing model could use a little tuning up, IMHO, I
mean look at the RL, nice but who cares, not different enough from the
TL, which is not different enough from the Accord. But that's been
true since day one with Acura, they never differentiated from the
Honda world even as far as Lexus did from Toyota or Infiniti from
Nissan.
