While I wished and prayed for a coupe, I knew it wasn't feasible or likely. It's still good to know that Acura tried and tried to make it happen either way. Knowing that they tried (and will likely keep trying as market trends shift and change) means that they still care... but it seems for a...

Yea, if they had made a true GT trim for the Forte I'd be more inclined to buy that, the forte is a much better styled car. I tend to lean towards Kia's designs more than Hyundai overall.

Same feelings here. The regular elantra models (like the N-Line) are already verging on being over styled... the N just takes it IMO too far. For as much hate as the 10th gen civic got for being over styled, the Elantra should get just as much, if not more. The completely nonsensical crease...

Exactly. The only way the Integra would effect the sales prices of the CTR (or any civic) was if it was being REPLACED by the Integra... but they're going to be sold alongside each other. So there's no gain/loss from either brand or model because the other exists. Integra might take a few sales...

Speaking to this... I did a little experiment with a coworker today. He is definitely NOT a "car guy" but he does generally prefer hatchbacks. So I was curious what he would say about the new Integra... here's what he said... "Oh nice, an Acura? It looks kind of like the four door porsches. The...

We don't know width yet. I've done some overlays with the civic sedan and they appear to be the same exact width, but the overlays weren't exact because of different photo angles, I'm personally hoping with the added length, they added an inch or two to the width of the car (something closer to...

Extremely true. If one photographer used a wide angle lense, that would be more than enough to skew things

I mean, when I did my overlay I managed to get the wheel wells, windows, windshield, and roofline etc all matched up almost perfectly to the sedan. The only difference was probably 2" added onto the back overhang. I did an overlay with that same picture of the hatch, and I think the angle of the...

I never even got to drive the Monte. I was just learning to drive back then, was 15-18 when we had the car and other than pulling it forward about 3 feet in the driveway one day I never got behind the wheel. I don't think it was so much the value of the car, but rather some of the issues it had...

We had a 67' Monte Carlo my mom bought from her aunt. It was a show car. Black exterior, black interior, after market white wall tires. Super sharp. Insanely huge, the entirety of my 95 civic could've fit inside the engine bay of that thing.

Funny you should mention the CRX. When Honda re-bought the trademark for the CRZ I was really hoping maybe they'd actually use it (with the Civic coupe gone, they'd introduce a new hybrid sport option to further their electrification goals). So much so that I did a drawing of what a new age...

The integra is going to have issues the same way the TLX has issues (specifically in it's reviews and comparisons) in that the price and power is more closely matched to one class of car, but the dimensions are closer to the next class up. TLX price and power is closer to compete with the...

They definitely appear larger in pictures than in real life... the first one I saw up close after release was kind of a mind f*** because the photos all made it seem like a huge long accord sized car, and then it's actually nice and tidy in person. The 11th gen only grew over the 10th by about...

I'm slightly less concerned with the overall size. While i definitely would prefer a smaller car (something closer to my civic coupe) in size... I was at the same time cross shopping cars like the Accord Sport and Kia K5... while it is more car than I NEED I'm not really all that concerned with...

Agree. Love the long hood/short deck cab rearward stance. The one thing to note is that the TLX was handled by Honda's American arm and the Integra is being handled by Japan. We all know Honda of Japan is better at keeping weight in check. And if the actual length difference is only in...

Lmao, same. I'm all in for black/orchid combo interior personally. Anything but red.

So, now knowing that I should've been comparing the civic sedan and integra, rather than the hatch... here's an overlay of the two. This obviously assumes that the wheelbase is identical (which might not be the case). Looks like there's a touch more rear overhang than the sedan (boo) and maybe a...

VERY INTERESTING. A lot of the same points I and other have been making about the new Integra and what it stands for. It's mission statement if you will. Also very interesting to note that it's LONGER than the civic sedan, which is longer than the civic hatchback. I tried to do some overlays...

More or less. Almost everything below that black bumper/side trim line is identical to the civic. The front end headlight area got changed, hood remolded, and the hatch turned into a liftback. Arguably... the new integra is going to have more visual differences than the original did from it's...

And yet my designer eye still sees more similarities than differences.... a different headlight treatment, and a different back end shape... the rest is VERY similar if not the same. I used the 90s versions as a point because those are the ones I remember (being born in 88). Maybe they...
