I'm with you about the RSX but what does the fact that Porsche using Struts have to do with making the case for struts? They aren't garbage, but you don't need a degree in geometry to understand that a double arm setup gives you more flexibility in chassis setup and has a greater potential to utilize a tire's contact patch, that's not opinion and lots of data backs that up. Porsche also puts the engine in the wrong place in their 911's but that fact alone doesn't mean that putting an engine behind the rear axles is ideal especially for other cars.
In many cars the delta in performance between the two is very small but in others it's huge (like your RSX, and all FWD cars for that matter).
I did like the D, B and F engines.
