There was a big surprise in the announcement of Acura's new RSX, but the news isn't bad. Instead, it sheds light on the future of Acura -- and Honda.

The new Acura RSX will also be the first EV produced at Honda’s new “EV Hub” in Ohio. The facilities at the Marysville Auto Plant, the East Liberty Auto Plant, and the Anna Engine Plant are undergoing a $700 million makeover and retooling. The Anna Engine Plant will be where the megacasting for Honda’s new Intelligent Power Unit (IPU) is made.

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