Im suprised the RSX is ending production - the GTO in my opinion is a great looking car...The Phaeton to me was an oversized passat on the outside, but a beauty on the inside, it's too bad it didnt have the exterior to drool over with it's price tag. Oh well, with all these cars going away, Im sure we will see bigger and better things...

RSX never sold well and apparently doesn't fit the "marketing strategy" going forward. There have been TSX coupe rumors but so far they are just that.

There is also news that the GTO is to be replaced.

the GT was a planned limited production. Ford's intentions were to kill it off before the 2007 model year because it won't pass the new side crash standards that go in effect for the 2007.

I won't really miss any on that list, except maybe the GTO. I do love american muscle cars (and fast cars in general, american or foreign), and even though I never owed a GTO, they are the kind of car you like to see roll by, just to hear the exhaust burble. It was a great car in concept, but needed a more in your face/radical approach, than looking like something run-of-the-mill from Oldsmobile. Something that elicited raw emotion and got your blood boiling at just the mere sight. I mean, look at the Solstice/Sky cars! They are flying off showrooms because of the unique design and reasonable pricing! And, with gas near (or at, depending on where you are) $4/gallon, the GTO just doesn't command a market, except with all but the purists (shich apparently there aren't many). Also, I think the pricing should have stayed in the mid to upper $20s. All JMO.... I will still miss it.... If anything though, given the limited production run, it should make the car quite the classic in years to come.

I'm kinda dissapointed about the Hummer... there goes the coolest looking, beastly and quite possibly best off road vehicle ever created.

I'll miss the RSX. I'd love to see a hotter version of the Civic Si in the Acura stable. Dumping the RSX for some cross-over SUV (RDX) sucks Acura. I would never pick a sports car wannabe SUV over a proper sporty hatchback.
