If you want a fun commuter and don't mind a shitbox interior on the level of an Si or GR86, the Elantra N is by far the best car in the segment. Shifter isn't as good as the Si, but it will thrash the Si in fun and performance and it has heated seats. Given the upcoming facelift you can also...

Just FYI, I got a call from Radley today since I'd put in an inquiry with them previously and they are marking up the first batch of ITS cars by $5k, which sounded like the online preorder ones. They also suggested they would mark up other ITS cars for buyers outside of Arlington, VA.

I cancelled mine too, just wanted to steer folks who were still interested toward Radley (or anyone else in the region who is doing MSRP). I'd never do business with CC Acura after this experience. Their team told me for months they would be doing "market" pricing and mirroring whatever the...

Chevy Chase Acura is doing 5k over MSRP. Pohanka Acura indicated there would be a markup but never got back to me on what it would be.

I think if you plan to use it as a daily you can drive hard and have fun its absolutely going to be worse than the CTR just because of the seats. We'll have to wait and see if the foam/bolster revisions over base Integra seats make a big difference, but the seats in the CTR are top 5 in terms of...

I don't think the resale on these is going to be great. People have been saying that every single enthusiast car that's come out in the last 3 years is a future classic because its "the last of its kind." But, most of these have depreciated just as hard as the rest of the market. I think modern...

The ITS was supposed to be my commuter with enough space for the kids/stuff. I could afford 52k, but I don't think I can swallow that price given all the features it lacks. No cooled seats and no memory seat is crazy to me. $25k Hyundais have that. No vents in the back is also pretty ridiculous...

The facelift is already revealed in Korea for base Elantra, which shares most of the interior with the N. No major changes, minus a few software tweaks (phone as a key and built in dashcam). Also wouldn't count on more than 10-15 more hp if any. Hyundai and engine reliability do not go hand in...

That's probably several grand to find an entire rear seat assembly and install it. If you need the fifth seat I'd just look for something bigger.

I wouldn't count on it. Its going to be more available than the CTR by the looks of it, but its still going to be a low volume car. Even enthusiast cars that have been out for a long time like a 340i or a Mustang GT take some effort to get right now. 200 in the first batch and I'd guess probably...

There are zero base IS500's in the US. The only ones being imported are the fully loaded premiums around 67k. The CT-4 BW is close to 70 with "must have" options and most dealers are putting on 10k ADM. RS3 is impossible to find because the wiring harnesses were made in Ukraine and they can't...

ITS is missing most of the A-spec tech features. No power passenger seat. No memory driver seat. No Nav. No rear USB ports.

This is the problem. The Si to A-Spec comparisons are off base because the Integra actually gives you a nicer interior for the markup. Comparing CTR to ITS, the ITS is arguably the worse package. You get heated seats and a nicer stereo, but you lose the stuff you talked about (seats, logger...

I think the issue is two things, one this is the same (arguably worse in some ways) car as the CTR that costs significantly less and two, once you break that 50k soft ceiling you're playing in a different tier of car which will outperform and outluxury the ITS. In other words, the value...
