Yeah that’s 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 doesn’t?

That is the most JDM thing I’ve ever seen and it looks great

Well it is now June and I was wrong lol. I’m hoping a delay in the announcement means they’re 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.

Previous model year updates were announced the last week of May (either on Tuesday or Thursday), so we might see an announcement this week.

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 there’s no suspension components on there other than coilovers, so the suspension geometry probably hasn’t changed much from the stock car.

For what it’s worth, the yellow HRC prototype car is running 19x9.5 +45, so Acura thinks it’s 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.

Also Honda shows a black version of the Type R interior a week before announcing the Integra is getting refreshed ?. Any chance this becomes an option on the 2026 Type S? Especially now that rumors are saying 2025 might be the last year for the Type R?

Would love the 360 cam and ventilated seats from the ADX

That’s fair, but I imagined maybe there was a possibility since the Civic Hybrid was added mid-cycle to the Civic lineup.

From Honda’s 2025 automotive outlook press release: “The Integra will receive exterior and interior changes to maintain its leadership position in the premium sport compact segment.” The way this is worded makes it seem like there won’t be any powertrain changes, so maybe a hybrid isn’t...

Any way we can get data on 2025s? Curious to see if so far there’s more or fewer than the 2024s

It seems like the mid-cycle refresh for the Integra could possibly be coming up in 2026 since the Civic had its MMC in 2025, so I was curious to get folks' thoughts on what could change. I'm basing these speculations on changed with the 2025 Civic Si and also what the Acura ADX has that the...

Looks like TEP is completely sold out based on the motoring obsession tracker, and I’m willing to take the slightly higher msrp for the 2025. I know there’s no changes but I’m assuming small tweaks have probably been done in the manufacturing line based on the first year’s learnings (e.g. less...
