Individuality is commonly expressed through automotive purchases. Take the typical mid-life crisis, for example. After years of commuting to work and taking the family on vacation in a common sedan or boring minivan, some people feel the need to proclaim a newfound sense of self with the latest sports car or convertible. Or maybe you know the owner of the “misunderstood” Pontiac Aztek. The Aztek’s beauty is definitely in the eye of its beholder, one who likely chooses the path less traveled more often than not, unflinching at the judgments passed by the masses.

For those of you interested in expressing your inner self through a tool more exciting than a Ford Taurus and less flashy than a Hummer H2, may we suggest the 2005 Acura RSX Type-S. With a conservative design hiding a high-revving powerplant, the RSX promises to attract attention when you want it, or to play the perfect wallflower when you don’t.
