The fourth-generation Honda Integra, also known as the Acura RSX in North America, was launched in Japan in April 2001 and produced until August 2006. It marked a shift in Acura's naming strategy, moving from recognizable names like "Integra" to alphanumeric model designations for better brand recognition.
Chassis and Drivetrain:
The DC5 Integra shared its platform with the seventh-generation Civic, transitioning from double wishbone suspension to MacPherson struts in the front and trailing arm suspension in the rear.
