I have seen both the SI and two Integra in person. Unfortunately it wasn't side by side or even the same day but IMHO while both are handsome the Teg looks more upscale both inside and out.
That along with all the other additional features the Teg has I have no problem justifying the additional...
Any reason not to think the class 1 hitches that fit the 20+ Civic will work on the Integra?
I'd hate to have to use a trunk or roof rack to haul bicycles.
Other sources have said the Integra is being built on the same line as the TLX in Marysville and while the ILX has also been produced there since 2015 would they cease production of the ILX this early into 2022, it's final year? Retooling of course takes time....
I'd be surprised if it gets close to 30mpg combined EPA.
This Corolla is really not a sensible comparison with the teg at this point. Totally different animals serving differing purposes for each auto maker.
