Maybe Iām reading too far into it, but this makes me think the 2027 is gonna have major changes to connectivity/infotainment, otherwise why would they sunset this?
I think Honda themselves announced at an event that they would import the DE5 to Japan if there was enough demand. As for regulations, maybe thereās exceptions if itās low enough volume?
The only front end update I could foresee is if they changed the grille to be like the one from the HRC concept. I donāt think it would sell very well as an accessory, so they might as well use it on the facelift. I also wonder if the fenders will change to match the HRC one, cuz it looks like...
I think that website is actually broken now, I think it's not picking up 2026s and only showing 2025s. The color filters for 2026 aren't available on there either.
Hi all, looking to buy a 2026 ITS soonish, but it feels like there's much less 2026 inventory than there was last year for 2025 cars? Is there any truth to this or am I just misremembering how much inventory there was in previous years? Is there any indication that the 2026 will be the last...
Yeah thatās fair, not really expecting a luxury level of quiet, but I would like to be able to take phone calls and hold a conversation with backseat passengers comfortably.
To all the prior 8th gen civic owners, how does the ITS compare to the 8th gen civic in terms of road noise? I went from an FG1 to a BRZ and the road noise is much worse on the BRZ (my mods probably don't help), but I was fine with the road noise in the 8th gen. I keep hearing negative things...
Can anyone confirm whether the 2026 Integra Type S got the new processor that was announced as part of the 2026 Integra refresh? Wondering if it was just an update on the base cars or also the Type S.
What a disappointing refresh. Exterior colors are worse, tech upgrades are marginal, and interior changes are a step in the wrong direction. Does anyone really want yellow stitching? As for tech, even the Civic EX has Google built in, but the luxury Integra doesnāt?
Well it is now June and I was wrong lol. Iām hoping a delay in the announcement means theyāre prepping both the base car and the Type S for a refresh, because the Type S model year has tended to launch 2-3 months after the base Integra.
In previous years model year updates for the Integra were unveiled in late May or early June. I think Honda tends to have a different model year announcement cycle. I think Civic updates tend to be announced in September/October for example.
Sure, but AFAIK thereās no suspension components on there other than coilovers, so the suspension geometry probably hasnāt changed much from the stock car.
For what itās worth, the yellow HRC prototype car is running 19x9.5 +45, so Acura thinks itās fine to run a somewhat lower offset in exchange for wider track width.
I'm expecting no exterior changes to the Type S also because they've already shown the HRC Integra parts and the new splitter wouldn't fit if the front fascia changed.
Price will probably go up, but maybe not by a ton. The 2020 Civic Type R added Honda Sensing (which is pretty expensive tech) and the price went up less than $1k.
Type R has historically gotten refreshes a year after the other civics do, same thing happened with the FK8. So either the FL5 gets refreshed this year or it gets dropped.
