Integra first drives are starting today, and Javier Mota just shared this video from last night:

If you catch any other posts from the Austin media event, feel free to share them here!

Just watched this. Biggest takeaway from the video; "in about three weeks this car will start rolling into dealers" so safe to assume on sale date is the first week of June. Which makes sense based on build dates as well as Acura sticking to "late spring" albeit any later in the spring and it'll be summer.
Most reservations should see their cars on dealer lots late next week, possibly early week of the 30th pending transport issues.
I would assume driving embargo would be lifted around the same time

Hopefully we get accessory pricing next week.

I'm really hoping we see the driving embargo lifted sometime next week, it'd be a shame if it's lifted at the same time as the Toyota annual media convention at the start of June.

I would assume Acura follows Honda's rules and they tend to hold embargos 1-2 weeks prior to model release/delivery. So if the integra is set to go on sale first week of June, Embargo would last until next week at the earliest, following week (memorial weekend) at the latest.
It being a holiday I could see them just releasing the embargo the weekend of the 28th. All just my assumptions

I’m hoping for accessories as well, called my dealer Saturday and they still didn’t have pricing… my buil date is today-21st so I’m HOPING to get it for Memorial Day weekend- I do live a little over 2 hours from marysville

Don't forget it's got to go to Chicago to pass through distribution before it goes to the dealerships--such a waste for those of us who would walk to Marysville for pickup if it were an option.

I find it bit strange that the majority of the media events have the 19” wheels mounted on it. And to me, look far better than the factory18”s. What about the age old adage, “Always put your best foot forward.” Ideally, they should’ve just come equipped with the19”s from the get go.

I guess it boils down to the“dealer installed accessories.” Cha-Ching!

And btw… where’s the Home Link?
