I think this is one of the lower end designs Mazda has released in a while in my opinion. I think the CX-50 and updated CX-5 are a little better looking. The side profile is a little wierd to me too. Its definitely not bad. Just not my favorite
Thinking about it there can be a practical use for them. Alfa Romeo is including an NFT on every new Tonale. It can be used to track service records, mileage, accident history ect. Nothing that the car or a Carfax report can't already tell you but it's more useful than what they seem to be doing...
From a different perspective you can argue that their marketing actually worked in a way. They did an excellent job of hyping this up. Showing the generations of manual Integras. Jon Ikeda's quotes. The anime series where the Integra was teased. If this was called an ILX would we still be here...
It would be cool if they pulled a Sonic the Hedgehog and #fixtheintegra before the full reveal. I doubt it though just due to development costs and time to certify things
TBH. Acura could have made this vehicle legendary. It could have picked up where the MK7 GTI left off. The go to for the everyman enthusiasts but with Honda reliability and quality.
That's what I'm thinking. I think it will be an EXL Civic but with 9 inch screen and they may replace the leather with the synthetic stuff. You'd also get the SI stuff in the base price. But if you want stuff like els sound system ect you'll have to pony up. Only 6 more days left before...
I'm curious how they equip the base Integra. Looking at the package layout for the integra, it seems if you want any more tech/creature comforts you'll have to go for the A-Spec with tech. The A-Spec is mostly an appearance package and will be likely similar to the base in tech/ comforts
With the 3 I hope they keep the formula the same really. I would just make it bigger since the 6 would be going rwd. I took a look at one today the backseat was small, and the boot was small even with the hatch. A updated version but a a little bigger would be perfect for many.
That would add further to the disappointment lol. 10 less hp than the outgoing ilx. I don't think they will tbh. I think it will at least be the Civic Si 200hp and nothing more
What does the Integra offer that a consumer that Mazda 3 doesn't. More fuel economy? It should as it has a smaller less powerful engine. More storage? Maybe better handling as the Mazda has taken a more luxury oriented route? The only other component I can think of is better technology.
Seconded. No vehicle is perfect and it's ok point out something that the brand could have done better. At times when I did people at like I made fun of their child.
Disappointed if true. The same DCT used in the ILX or the 10 speed would have been perfectly fine. It only seems that the manual there advertised the heck out of is only available on the top trim
Tbh. They should make an upscale HRV and sell it. It only means better sedans and liftbacks for us. There is room in the lineup for both an Integra and CDX imo
I'm not asking for a completely new Interior. The Integra interior should be "based on" the new Civic interior. This new one feels copy pasted. Things that the Acuras have like brushed Aluminum/cooper, steering wheel, larger display would make it nicer. Maybe add leatherette and stitching on the...
Yes because it's an Audi. Because of the badge alone they can get away it. The badge has a certain image so they can offer less for more and people will buy it. I see so many C classes and 3 series without LED lights which is basic. Acura on the other hand has to find different ways to entice...
I'm just one guy. I literally pulled up a picture of them side by side and looked for differences. The stitching was easy to find for me. If you think that Acura changing the design from a 6 sided shape to a 4 sided shape is a massive difference than more power to you. The point I'm trying to...
I don't think you were understanding my argument. I'm not saying that sharing parts or a platform is a bad thing. Let's use your examples sure a mustang and fusion might share parts but they're different design elements that set the two apart. Same with the Infiniti and Altima. Both may use...
