I'd be irritated that I made the trek if I were you, but the dealership is more responsible for failing to realize the allocation in their system was for a CVT model rather than 6MT--it's pretty odd that they didn't put it together before they had you come in, or when they pulled up in it...
For what it's worth, that Apex Blue (and Liquid Carbon) may end up being more common than the Performance Red--long term. you might end up with a car that'll hold more value if you get the Red.
Your dealership knows what they're going to charge you before you walk through the door--be upfront with them before you even start a reservation, "How do you price your vehicles? Are you going to expect me to pay above MSRP? What about accessories? Do you intend to put anything on the car that...
There's no way this isn't the first one sold in the US... am I right? Such a cool talking point! Congrats!
So is anybody else wondering about transforming the NFT? Assuming you got one... what's the status on that?
I just got my VIN from Columbia Acura in Cincinnati--my White/Red 6MT is built, and they expect it to arrive "at any time." I was expecting ~2 weeks from today, but my contact said it'll be much sooner.
We'll see, but I'm excited! I sent the VIN to Allstate for a quote, I'll be able to share...
Now that demo models and customer allocations are starting to hit dealerships, I thought it'd be smart to make a place to compile takeaways after test drives. Please feel free to contribute!
I checked out the Liquid Carbon/Red demo that just arrived at Acura Columbus and was extremely...
I guess I've never really equated "luxury" with how I open the garage
The adjustable seats in this thing are NICE--just got done test driving one and will create a thread for folks to share their thoughts.
It hasn't been released by the service department yet, but if you're in the area, you should be able to check out a Liquid Carbon/Red 6MT Integra at Acura Columbus by EOB today. According to two the sales guys, test drives will be allowed.
Lindsay Acura hasn't received a demo yet.
Agh! I couldn't find any pictures of China's Honda Integra interior, it was this video where I saw it:
They open the door at 1:10... and I guess it's not terrible... but something about it seems off/cheap... is it just me?
Yeah, I'm sorry, I think the US Integra is legit--I think the Chinese Integra looks like... well... something that would have to be sold as an "Intogra" or something like that, know what I mean?
I'm in the same boat as you though--I feel just a little too bougie to feel great driving a Si...
If you're disappointed by the engine, you ought to take a look at the interior! It looks to me like they handed someone a picture of the 2022 Si interior and a few big rolls of synthetic leather and said, "Do your best."
I like the panoramic roof, even though it doesn't open, but the interior...
The Si has built-in navigation, but it's not included with the Integra--they likely did this since most use Waze or GoogleMaps even when there's native navigation. On the bright side, one reviewer did show that the CarPlay navigation directions display in the HUD, and there should also be an...
I fully respect that conundrum; that $9,000 gap at MSRP is vast... but plenty (most, even?) Honda dealerships are whittling that gap down significantly with markups and mandatory accessories on the Si and Civic Hatchback Touring. Add the average markup onto the Si/Touring and then factor in the...
In my review, I noticed he didn't mention the library, which highlights my limited knowledge of Espanol. ?
I have to give it to ya, that was a really great article!
