That’s my thing. The Golf R is lower in price and offers more premium features than the integra.
The $52k wouldn’t feel unreasonable if it had things like moonroof, ventilated seats and heated steering wheel.
I still think the Integra will sell well. Especially if it’s easier to get than a CTR.
I just noticed something in the press release from 2/14/22 where they are talking about pre-orders:
“Integra is the only vehicle in its segment to offer a six-speed manual transmission for unmatched premium performance, as well as the only liftback bodystyle to provide versatility at an...
It is really good value for money. I wish they built it as a Mazdaspeed with an independent rear suspension and a 6MT, but I understand why they didn’t. It still might be worth my time to test drive one, though.
Just saw that MDX-S reviews went up today on many websites. I’d imagine Acura wouldn’t take the spotlight away from that by releasing integra info at the same time?
I am going to continue to hold out hope for something impressive, that will make the integra a great value for the money.
At this phase I’m expanding my horizons:
GTI
GLI
WRX
Elantra N
All have things I don’t care for, but if a 200hp integra costs $36k for a 6MT and is slower than all the...
Interesting discussion on this Reddit post. I don’t know if the person is who they say they are. If they are, there are some interesting tidbits in the comments section.
I like either the performance red to match my wife’s RDX, Alex blue which would be like Aegean blue Si, or the white with red interior.
Perhaps the yellow is for the type s like others guessed.
I’m really surprised they are pushing news this late. On the WRX, they released exact pricing and trims on the same day as taking orders. But the press had done reviews and all of that well in advance.
The only thing we know about the car is 4 door hatch, manual, leather, LSD, 1.5L turbo and...
I’m just glad I’m not the only one impatiently waiting on more details. I refresh this place and Acura’s site more often than I’d care to admit.
I would consider the type S if it was somehow less than $40k usd, and the non type-s models were less than 210hp.
Essentially I would prefer to go with the base engine, but if it’s an absolute dog and the Type-s is affordable for me, I’ll go that route.
6MT is really important too.
On my Mom’s 1995 integra, Acura included a cool package of stuff. It had a branded pen, tire gauge, flashlight, booklet and a cassette tape. I thought it was a cute touch.
