What you should've said is, "This is an automotive resource site, not a kids club", because it's kids like you that make this place so frustrating sometimes. I'd hardly call saying "Search is your friend" jumping down someone's ***.

THATS WHY PEOPLE ASK QUESTIONS, IF YOU DONT WANNA ANSWER IT, THEN DONT.
You mean if I don't want to answer it again. The whole point of the search engine (and the FAQ) is to avoid repeating the same questions and answers over and over. Why is that so hard to understand? I get accused of having a high post count because I tell people to search all the time, but the truth is that it's because I seem to be answering the same questions regularly, or pointing people in the direction of the answer (proof: searching for "GTX" and "GT-X" under my name gets 20 hits). If I've already answered the question, why should I have to repeat myself just because someone can't be bothered searching? This has all been said before in the sticky at the top of the 2nd Gen section and in the forum rules.

But hey, if you don't want me to answer any of your questions, that's easily arranged...

Yes there was, it sat below the GT-X in the line-up, above the base GT. These are just trim levels; mechanically they were mostly the same.

The FC went on sale in Japan in 1985. Video games should not be used as a source of factual info...

I dont use video games as a source of "factual" info. I just remembered that I saw a GTX in the video game and it said it was a 85. Whenever I tried googling it, "1985 RX& GTX," I got no results so I gave up on it and eventually forgot about it (as I dont play the game too often b/c I work alot.)

Oops, that was supposed to have a smiley on the end of it. I figured you weren't using it as gospel or anything, although this time the game was right. Both the FC and FD were available in Japan the year before they were available in the US (85 and 91 respectively).

December 1992 in Japan and about a year later in the US (not sure what month). According to the FD FAQ there were ~4800 FD's sold in 92, but they're considered to be part of the 1993 US model year sales. Go figure...
