Here's hoping when the ordering opens EVERYTHING is on the table. All the specs, prices, info, as well as the "build a teg" on the acura site.

The Mazda3 Turbo is probably the only other car I have in mind besides the Integra to get me out of my Civic Coupe. While the rear suspension setup of the 3 is a bit of a letdown, for the amount of actual driving I do (which is like less than 12k miles a year, mostly city driving) I'm sure that...

I guess I'm not super shocked Acura is flubbing the release of the integra... I mean... look back at what happened with the NSX... that thing had like 3 prototype/concept cars that spanned like 10 years of teasing, leaks, changes to powertrain, before the NSX was FINALLY released. I mean, doing...

I've often thought about the "value" of premium and luxury cars (for the sake of this comment I'm talking about base versions of these cars, as opposed to the super high performance variants, ex. M, RS, AMG, etc). Back in the day luxury and premium makers offered a lot of things mainstream cars...

Fact of the matter is this... Acura COULD HAVE cancelled the ILX... and created their own upscale version of the HR-V that's coming... and it would've been a MASSIVE seller in today's CUV crazed market. However, rather than offer a small crossover as their entry point and alienate 95% of car...

As long as the 20hp hidden potential of the Si is unlocked for the Integra and it performs like it has 20+ hp more than the Si. If they claim 220 but it still puts down the same or worse numbers than the Si, then it's all just marketing garbage. Given that the TLX saw about 20hp more than the...

It wouldn't even be that much of a cost cut (in development) given that the DCT in the ILX is completely developed and paid for thanks to the long lifespan of the ILX and the first gen TLX that used it. It can already handle the 200+hp the 1.5T will have. BUT given that it's the only model that...

I've mentioned it before, as nice as getting SH-AWD on the integra would be... it will need a power bump or else it'll be slower than a regular civic with all that extra weight added. (speaking to the regular 1.5T version, not the Type S) Given that this "leak" has some odd wording choices (IMO...

I felt the same way... I got CRX/CRZ as well as a little bit of Scion tC (which makes sense given that it was a liftback coupe). I'll forever hold out hope for a small sporty honda like the CRZ/CRX to return in some form, either as a hybrid again or fully electric. Small, nimble, adequate...

Just for fun, decided to tweak my own render for a coupe. (nothing against the 4 door, just bored at work). The last one had a couple issues in that they didn't remove the second B pillar trim piece, and I felt like the rear overhang/rear window were too large. Soooo I shortened the rear...

I wonder if Acura is also planning for these to be special "launch edition" models... basically the same as the all the other integras, no trim or feature changes, just with maybe the addition of an engraved numbered badge inside the car or something just to make this first limited batch special...

I don't disagree with you. Not at all. Toyota definitely hands off the reigns to whoever they partner with and then just sells the end product more or less. I think in part, that's why Honda hasn't attempted something like this. They like being fully independent and would want to 100% control...

Idk... they got a lot of crap because the supra was effectively a german car. Having at least another Japanese auto maker take up the partnership for the next Supra seems at least a better pairing in my mind than that of a german made convertible touring car. And if it also nets us a new RX...

My general thinking is that the manual on the integra will be like it is for the Civic hatchback, a no cost option... you don't save or spend any more money than you would for an auto. Despite the manual costing less than the auto in manufacturing, but more to offer it at all in production cost...

The 11th gen platform is the same (with tweaks made) as the CRV, so there's probably no big reason why the ITS couldn't be AWD, the platform is literally built to be scaleable and functional for a range of models both FWD and AWD assuming Honda didn't change it radically for the 11th gen civic...

I doubt the extra 1-2" of length will effect things as much as the added weight from NVH like you mentioned. I think they could offset some of this and make the car more stable if they added a couple of inches of width to widen it's stance and give more corner stability and lower the ride height...

Based off of what little additional info we have gleaned since the initial announcement, as well as things like the interior pictures I revised my initial "spec sheet" shuffling around some of the features, reducing the amount of trims from the original by condensing a few, and tweaking my...

I think if they offered AWD and 220hp for the Base (non Type S models) they'd actually have quite the winner on their hands. Granted, there's still going to be quicker/more powerful competition in that price range... but in that $30-35k segment, AWD and 220 (or at least a 0-60 in around 6.5ish...

I've mentioned this before that it's definitely worth looking outside of the audi/bmw/merc offerings for competition to the Integra. One of the cars that probably closest aligns to it in terms of offering a hatch and being in the $30-35k range is the Mazda3 AWD Turbo models. Theres definitely...

I think it's also a possibility that while the Integra may get more or less a copy/paste version of the Si powertrain, Acura could retune things like transmission gearing away from efficiency and toward performance and get better numbers than the Si, especially if they use a DCT or the 10 speed...
