As an owner of the first gen Integra, sure I was hoping they went retro. But they didn't and I'm not one of the those people irate about it. If this car comes in at 30K, it will be a bargain in today's market. My only concern is with the size of the car. It's definitely larger than I hoped but...

I have dozens of tuning threads at CivicX but here's the biggest one: https://www.civicx.com/forum/threads/the-tuned-civicx-experience-reliability-thread-for-all-models.42361/ My 1.5T's been tuned nearly 4 years and currently is tuned to about 220whp/250wtq.

Tuned 2017 Civic EX-L sedan.

A couple points. So now we know the Integra is a bit larger than the XI sedan. And we know that as a rule, hatches and liftbacks tend to be a bit heavier than their sedan counterparts. That rear glass is heavy. Plus with this being an Acura, it will be higher contented than the Si, again likely...

So if it's longer, it's likely noticeably heavier as well. Hopefully Honda tunes the 1.5 for more power than the Si. You guys that follow my CivicX tuning threads know the engine has plenty of headroom for safely (and reliably) pushing more power.

Man, I'm old. I have shoes older than you. ;)

Robb, good post but let me take you back to 1986. I was trading in my little CR-X for something a bit better. I looked at the Mazda RX7, Civic Si and the Acura Integra. As you said, the Integra was always based on the Civic platform but back then, the overall look was different. The Si hatch...

As an old timer and an owner of one of the very first Integras imported into the US, at first I was disappointed with the new car. But, the reality is, this was never going to look like an '86 Integra no matter how much we would have liked to see more of an homage to that vehicle. Overall, I...

I owned a first gen 3 door Integra LS. It was a fun little car. Here's a look at both the original and new car. As much as I loved my little Integra, this new one looks much sexier. But it clearly shares little to nothing with the original's look. Hopefully Honda will up the power a bit over...

Great job OP. Any chance of throwing a silver and/or dark grey into the mix?

Yeah that's just the way the stage lights are hitting the roof in that pic.

Bigger in the eyes of old timers like me who owned and loved those small Integras back in the day. Clearly, Honda's marketing strategists aren't worrying about getting actual former Integra owners onboard. They named it Integra because it was a beloved nameplate that helped launch the Acura...

Yep. I'm one of those people. When I bought my first gen Integra, I knew it had the Civic underpinnings to an extent but inside and out it looked completey different. I loved those pop up headlights. It also had a much more fun and high revving engine and better handling. It was a small...

I give it a solid C+.

My first gen Integra LS 3 door was a foot or so shorter than the new Civic and weighed a bit over 2300 lbs...

They aren't going down anymore. ;) Here's the average cost of regular in the US as of today:

Europe gets it. Australia gets it. But not us. This whole thing with SUVs and crossovers taking over the North American market drives me nuts. I always wonder if it's the chicken or the egg. Are those vehicles selling so well because that's 100% what people want, or is it partly because they've...

Maybe it's the pic but those almost look like 19's to me.

Yeah, man. Hyundai does us North Americans wrong. That i20N is a sweet little car for the money.

Again, I guess I'm the weirdo here. Having owned an Integra, I loved how small and nimble it was. All these new cars are so damn big.
