Why go base (the linked configuration is a mid tier FWD A3 without everything possible added) German when you can have a Type S for the same or less money?
With very little hard evidence, there seem to be a lot of predictions that the 5G Integra will fail against its competitors. I suppose, though that I can turn it around regarding what we actually KNOW about the platforms that the 5G and its competitors ride on. The Integra will have far better...
I could be wrong but itās HIGHLY UNLIKELY that the Type S will come with the Accordās version. I have one of those now. When was the last time that an Acura came with a non-premium fuel version?
I donāt think that youāre right about the competition, but whateverā¦I see the base engine Integra A spec competing with things like the A3, 228i GC, etc. Against those $35,000 for the Integra will be a hell of a bargain.
Donāt conflate the carās price-value proposition with a dealer markup added. Itās a dealerās choice to add the markup or not. Itās also an individual customerās choice to pay extra if they really āhaveā to get the car when it first comes out. For me, a mid tier Integra at around $35,000 would be...
