They stopped making the RSX because it would would compete with the 2006 civic si. Honda motor company owns Acura. The decision was made to pull the plug on the RSX is Honda motor company of Japan due to poor sales there although RSX sales are Generally good here in the U.S. The RSX is called the Honda Integra in Japan.They are having problems with sales there because of direct competition of its own brand. Usually when a model is pulled from production in japan the usually to continue production in the states.

They stopped making them for the 2006 model year. The Civic Si served the same purpose for slightly less money (not sure about this because they looked to be roughly the same when I checked), which led to the demise of the RSX. However, I have heard that there could either be a 2-door TSX or even a new RSX that might take over in a few years. "Dick Collier, Vice President of Public Relations at Honda Motor Co. has said that there will be no 2007 RSX. He however indirectly implied that the RSX will make its debut back into the Acura scene in the near future as Honda enthusiasts were outraged by the discontinuity of the Acura RSX. According to consumer sales, Acura took a drastic plunge after the RSX was discontinued."

LOS ANGELES — Honda has decided to stop making the Acura RSX coupe at the end of the 2006 model year and is not yet prepared to announce a replacement for the entry-level Acura product. The RSX, successor to the popular Integra, originally made its debut in 2002.
American Honda Motor executive John Mendel, quoted by AutoWeek, said Acura wants to be "performance, luxury, and technology — in the BMW area a little bit." That would seem to indicate that Acura will leave the lower-end products to Honda from now on.

Yes, They stopped production of the RSX for 2007.
They are replacing it with the 2007 Acura TSX coupe.
I also love the RSX..but i love my integra ALOT more. Id take an integra over a rsx.

yes they did stop making the RSX, reason why.....sales were not as good as its predicessor the integra. so Acura cut it from the line up, my personal opinion is that the integra should have stayed around for a few more years.
