Don't forget that the EN is still a Hyundai, not Genesis. People who want more performance won't be looking at the base Integra at the price range. They have plenty of sport compacts to choose from.
Yes, people will be cross shopping them, but it will be more about pros/cons and personal...
We’ve only seen A-specs with 6mt so far. Even the very first leak was about 6mt A spec. The manual teaser video was this exact combo too.
That is strange…
But it’s not like they’re only gonna offer 6mt.
Maybe the other configurations are not ready to be seen even as a test vehicle at the...
I like everything except for the air vents.
I know it's not the honeycomb pattern from the Civic, but it's not different enough imo.
They should've gone with the traditional vents in other Acuras.
Also, I am glad they used Honda infotainment instead of the newer Acura one.
Generally mainstream...
So here are the plates on the rest of the vehicles.
TLX - AGPLB21
MDX - 2022MDX
NSX - NSXNC1
Random Car - V4N1T33
MDX and NSX's are pretty much nameplates and the opponent's probably just means Vanity.
AGPLB21? Acura Grand Prix Long Beach 2021 ? I'm not sure, but I couldn't find anything else ?‍♂️
I think the Integra type S will show up as a secret weapon for the final battle or something like that. Not sure how many episodes they’ll give us, but everything interesting will probably happen in the very last episode lol
Well, it went from an informative thread to something else very quickly :oops:
Anyway,
That is true, but 38K would be way too much for something with 250hp.
But that's not the point anyway. I was trying to say that 250hp FWD Integra doesn't deserve a Type S badge.
This is exactly what...
Tbh I’m perfectly fine with 250hp, mid $30K Integra. It’s the Type S badge that I have problem with. It needs to offer something that other cars in the price range don’t.
I think Acura’s trying too hard to avoid getting direct competitors.
But then people will be comparing it to all the...
So it will be sold only in the US and Canada? (maybe Mexico too) That's interesting.
I mean, I know China's not getting it and they're not gonna ship it to Kuwait either lol so that makes sense.
I was kind hoping this could make its way to some global markets as a Honda.
IIRC Honda Korea came...
I mean, we all knew it would be a version of K20C 2.0T, didn't we?
11th gen CTR engine was very unlikely anyway, but K20C1 from FK8 would have been nice tho.
280hp 2.0T FWD would be my guess.
Honestly, I'm OK with 272hp powertrain straight out of a TLX. But only if it's cheaper than the Type R.
I don't think it's worth that much either, but adding the mark up to the pricing doesn't make sense at all.
...Unless it's the only car with the mark up but we know that's now going to be the case.
Most people are paying mark ups for something like RAV4 now and that won't change anytime soon...
Actually his retirement ceremony took place few hours ago. The good news is he's still going to be an adviser for their European R&D center.
Apparently they might start selling the G70 SB in Korea too. I don't understand why they can't bring it here.
Wagon/Hatchback market in Korea is like...
Honestly, I have no idea lol
I have some cars in mind but none of them are in production yet and few of them are nothing but rumors.
Basically anything that's weird and interesting with decent performance
GR Corolla (depending on the 2 pedal availability)
WRX is still somewhat on the list but...
He just left Hyundai so that adds to the uniqueness of the Elantra N, last true N car developed and introduced by Biermann himself.
But G70 or Stinger would be my choice if I were to go KDM again. Shooting Brake would have been nicer tho.
I agree. They are more about being "fun," just like how Ford's performance cars were like.
Not sure anybody else would agree but I personally think that the Veloster N feels like a cheap, FWD FoRS.
Hell, Hyundai even took one of the RS engineers from Ford. lol
Too bad Ford isn't into everyday...
