The problem is not just the high MSRP for the 6MT but once you add 2-2.5k for dealer add-ons and the 1-4K incurred in interest, the total cost balloons to 44-48k which is not easy to justify for a premium compact/midsize hatchback/liftback.
I assume for luxury cars in general the sound deadening is better but may be not for entry-level luxury. I think even mainstream automakers have improved their NVH for higher trims of different models by use of thicker windshield, more sound deadening material in the floor, etc.

If the Integra turns out to be underwhelming in my test drive, I will consider the Mazda CX-30 turbo instead of the Mazda 3 turbo because it has larger rear windows and therefore my rear passengers would not be less claustrophobic. Being a CUV, it’s cargo space would be taller than the Integra.
I have preordered the Integra on the Acura website and a salesperson at my dealer has confirmed that my order has been placed.
Since I am not asking for additional options, can I ask dealer for a buyers order now? I assume this would allow me to see any dealer markup in advance. Then, I can...
I found a channel on YouTube that contained a video of Nissan 370Z at the auto show. I requested the channel to take a video of the Acura Integra. The owner said that he has footage and will upload it soon. Here is the link to his channel. https://youtube.com/c/PandaMonkeyium
All good questions that I am also eager to get answered. The NFT should be transferable to another wallet such as Coinbase. People dealing with cryptocurrency should be familiar with Coinbase because it is one of the popular trading platforms/wallets.
Use contract # and token ID. The token ID is basically your order in the number of people who have downloaded the NGI NFT. the token ID should range between 1-500.
