  acura rsx, an elegy
RSX
You are a car
That Acura makes
But they are not
Going to make you anymore
After this year
Because Honda decided
To take Acura "upscale"
To try to "take on BMW."

I guess BMW probably makes
A lot of money or something
Because car companies
Are always trying to
"Take on BMW."
If you ask me BMW is nothing but
A rolling status symbol
For over-financed, unimaginitive wannabes

RSX
You used to be called the Integra
And you still are except in America
And Canada I think.
They changed your name
Because a made up word apparently wasn't as good
As a set of three random letters
At least not for Americans and Canadians

RSX
I've never owned you
But I did buy an Integra GS-R in 1998
Then six years later
I did something really stupid
And traded it in for a Saab

RSX
You are being replaced by the Honda Civic Si
Which is an okay car I guess
But I still have a special place in my heart for you
RSX

RSX
You are a car
That I was probably going to buy
If they redesigned you
Because your current model
Has been out forever
And I wanted a nice fresh new one
But now stupid Honda
Is going to lose my business
Because they decided they wanted to
Become another BMW wannabe
So now I'm sending my money to
Toyota

RSX
You no longer fit into Acura's "brand strategy"
Because Acura feels the best way
To "take on BMW"
Is not with a quick, light, fun sports car
But with an ugly "luxury SUV" whose front end
"Looks like some fat guy's face
With 2-3 potatoes stuffed in his mouth
As he tries to smile with his eyes closed"*

RSX
You have 200 horsepower
But only if you pony up the cash
To get the Type S
Otherwise you only have 155

RSX
You went away
Before I could get to know you
My butt will never be held in place by
Your sport bucket seats
And my forehead will never become sunburned
From driving with your sunroof open
My kids will never be squished
Into your backseat
My climate will never be controlled by you
And you will never tell me how to get to the nearest White Castle
(Navigation System optional)

RSX
I will miss you
RSX
