quick question, when is the DC5 due to cease production, or has it already?

considering they just revamped the styling (for better or worse) I can't see them stopping production for a couple of years yet?

The Dc5 was revamped this year IIRC, and i guess it will go through untill late 2006 early 2007.

According to people at the USDM Honda HQ in Torrance CA, they think that the 2006 model year will be the last.

Originally, the USDM "RSX" was scheduled to disappear completely, along with the UK/Euro "Integra" DC5 line. However, it appears now that they have changed their minds and there might be a redesigned model for 2007.

There is a working mule of a 2007 car based on the CL7/CL9 double wishbone chassis, and another working mule based on the new FG2 radically revised McPherson chassis.

People who have driven the FG2 in the USA are raving about it.

so, has production now ended, or can you still pick up a new DC5?

Yes, the DC5 is finished.

In the USA, we have spotted the TSX successor (SH-AWD and K24 Turbo) on several occasions. It will be produced in the fall of 2008 in a Type S configuration advertised at 260 HP.

It's possible that a double wishbone coupe verson of the 2009 model year will be released as a high performance successor to the DC5 in markets where it was the most popular.
