The Smoking Tire: Acura wants us to believe that this is a totally different car from the Type-R, which is absolutely ridiculous. If you live somewhere with great roads, or not-so-great roads, this is a great car. "I want one like... yesterday." The only downside is the price, but this gives you...

Kirk Kreifels gives a surprising amount of talk-less driving--so if you're looking to ride along and listen to the exhaust, great review for that. In summary: Kirk says Florida doesn't offer roads (smooth/twisty/fun) worth the extra money to get a Type-S over his A-Spec + Tech (I thought he...

According to SavageGeese (toward the end of their review) Acura's going to limit production of the Type-S similar to what Honda's doing on the Type-R--they didn't give specifics, but just plainly said production would be quite limited.

Ok big news--per SavageGeese, the K20C1 and K20C8 are the exact same engine, but the stamping is different in order to note the C1 goes to Japan for the FL5, the C8 goes to Marysville for the Type-S.

Got it added! I'm starting with SavageGeese, and I can say ~5 minutes in that these guys (the SavageGeese guys, that is) have raised the bar. This review is next level. In summary: These guys found the Type-S is as fast/faster than the Type-R, and said it is as good/better in 90% of driving...

I've undoubtedly missed some here--feel free to comment at me and I'll add others to the poll!

I agree--the Integra production numbers are for all of North America, so I think it's fair to assume the 10% is for all of North America as well.

Shared this article mainly to highlight what appears to be a statement from Acura on planned production figures for the Integra and Type-S, specifically: Big share of sales Acura estimates the hot-selling Integra will reach year-end volume of about 36,000, comprising about 22.5 percent of total...

2024 Acura Integra Type S new halo for the brand Acura's Integra Type S carries on the spirit of the now-retired NSX, but at a price point attainable to a wider set of buyers.

Don't let Dave Ramsey get ahold of this guy ^^, he's an absolute menace! ?

It definitely stands out when dealerships seem to have 8 different routes to the same inflated price goal.

I like your plans! depending on what your shop will charge you for vinyl wrapping, these gloss black mirror caps are probably going to be considerably cheaper: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09QFW5B4N/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 For tint and a roof wrap, I paid...

I strongly suspect I can make it juuuuust fine on turbo-less 2.0T torque for my day-to-day in this season, and probably still get fairly good gas mileage too--nobody loves loud, high RPM (low speed) driving quite like my toddler... which is both very fun, and slightly terrifying!

So you actually touched on one of my (very few, but largest) reservations about buying this thing... I drive my current Integra ~14 miles on surface streets between 3-4 days/week for school drop-off, and in that round-trip, I drive through 3 school zones (aka 6 since I drive through each twice)...

Yep! Totally agree there--something I did notice that stood out, he said "it doesn't seem like the turbo kicks in any earlier than in the A-Spec + Tech" or something along those lines, but the press docs already said the turbo of the Type-S spools at ~2,300 RPM vs 1,800 RPM in the A-Spec + Tech...

I guess I missed that part! I'm eager to see people make some direct comparisons (if they're allowed) to the Type-R, because a handful of the people who went to Cali have their own Type-R's, and I'd bet most/all of them have at least reviewed one at this point. The guy from last night hasn't...

For anyone who didn't see the POV driving impressions video that was posted yesterday but since made private, here are my notes: Interior: He liked the shift knob and suede boot, as well as the perforated wheel, and noted the rest of the interior is largely unchanged. Shifter: He said the...

So I've read just as much of Acura's embargo guidelines as you have, but let's keep in mind--we're talking about the same dealership that said employees can't participate in the reservation system... the same company that took a bunch of money to fly their most brand-friendly journalists to Cali...

Regarding the 2 years of maintenance--yes, that's included, but do make sure your dealership participates in the program and knows about it. It's been around for over a year now, they should all be well aware, but there are some around here who have had dealerships try to charge them for what...

Hey @Integra23 - Lindsay Acura in Columbus, Ohio is actually $5k over MSRP.
