Default Acura RSX badged as Integra?

What's up Honda guys? A while ago I saw what I thought was an RSX, badged as "Integra." I didn't know what to think, so I disreguarded it. And tonight in the parking lot of where i work, parks another RSX badged as Integra. I figured i'd ask people more knowledgeable about acuras. Does anyone have an explaination for this? Why do I see RSX's badged as Integra?

Well the RSX is basically a 4th gen integra, just with a different name.

You see some Rsx's badged as Integra's because in essense it is the fourth generation integra like Honkey said. Notice in Japan the Rsx Type R is called the "Honda Integra Type R". So if you see a Usdm Rsx with "Integra" badging it's jdm badging

Because it is quite literally a honda. The US is the only place in the world where there are acuras. Everywhere else they are Honda. They may have changed the name to rsx but its a DC5 Integra.

I'm debating on which Honda badge to put on my car...either the chrome, or the red. =\
