What's the relationship between Acura RSX and Honda Integra?

I think I saw an rsx with a honda emblem on the back and I saw a few of these. Or is it because these two cars are similar?What's the relationship between Acura RSX and Honda Integra?
they are kissing cousins
Same car. Acura is a North American brand name. Elsewhere, it is Honda. The RSX name was used in place of the Integra name because Acura decided to go with a different nomenclature to fall in line with other Acura vehicles. Elsewhere, the Integra name still exist. Hondas were always very reliable cars and Honda wanted to bring higher dollar cars to market in the US. Therefore, they created the Acura brand back in 1986 with two models: The Legend and the Integra. Both were succesful cars with the BMW 3 Series and Mercedes 190 models at the time. It was actually more reliable than both cars (eventhough the BMW was still very reliable), handled nearly as well as the BMW and it's V6 dished out as much power for as their inline 6 models but at the cost of the 4 cylinder variants of the BMW and Mercedes. It lives on now as the RL, but the original formula of that car really lives on as the TL. A bit more info than you probably wanted but it's always good to get more info on cars, since we drive them everyday.What's the relationship between Acura RSX and Honda Integra?
It's a ricer thing. Acura is a North American brand. It was created so Honda can sell their more upscale vehicles in the USA without being laughed at for wanting $50k for a Honda. This was especially true back in the 80s when it was created, when Honda was viewed as cheap junk for high school kids, so they wanted to create another brand that was more luxury to distance from themselves. The RSX was, quite literally, an Integra. They just renamed it when Acura dropped all the car names and decided that alphabet soup came up with better names (MDX, RDX, TSX, RL, TL, RSX...WTF?). There really isn't any difference, just some kid either paid $50 for an "authentic jay-dee-emm" Honda Integra badge, or they stole it off another Honda. Great. Put a badge of a lower level car on a higher level car.
It's kind of the similar relationship between these cars, watch videos...

Well acura is honda. But in japan there is no acura. The rsx and integra are the same car. It just makes its more jdm for the true honda lovers.
Because in Japan, there is no Acura. Is all Honda.... Honda makes Acura.. just like Toyota makes Scion....
Ricers take off the Acura emblem and replace it with a Honda one.
Same makers
