I think the interior looks like cheap plastic...

That might be so becaust it is made from cheap plastic.

It's probably a fun car to drive. That still doesn't mean I'd buy one.

RSX -S gained weight this year, 2840 lbs.. the fully loaded celica GTS is 2500lbs..

rsx has a nicer interior, but the seating feel, i like celica..
i would pick up the celica knowing the 2005 is the last year of the celica..

they should introduce LSD into there FF line up's

I test drove them both in June and decided on a Trans Am WS6.

To be fair though, I thought the Celica GTS was better value for money, and it felt a bit quicker than the RSX-S, but then it is a very light car. On the other hand, I thought the RSX-S was a better quality, better looking vehicle and I'd have probably bought the RSX over the Celica in the end for that reason.

I wouldn't buy a GTS automatic though, the engine is really only suited to a manual transmission. But then I'd not buy an auto, period.

hummm it´s more low and 10 hps greater...looks good

the design overall in my opinion didn´t change too much..but it looks even better..i love this car for sure i would own it if i lived in US....great honda VTEC engine

yeah toyota said the new RSX would be more integra-ish..still looks mainly like an RSX to me though..i hear it gets a wee bit more power

i would prefer the celica, but im biased =) i like the celicas looks and handling better, but the acura is a sharp car.....

the seats are better in the celica tho.....and i just seen where they are now making ITBs for the 2zz engine now.....that could be fun

all the haters aside tho, both are cool cars, test drive them and see which you like better
i have driven a newer GTS and a newer RSX and i like the celica better
both offer good performance for the money, and both have good looks, and potential when it comes to modifications and are alot of fun to drive

not everyone can afford a vette......
