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.

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 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.
