What’s it gonna take to get you to buy a Type S?

[Hondabob]

I feel like the ITS might be teased this week. Reason being is that in 2 weeks Mid-Ohio happens for IMSA which Acura is a sponsor for that race. Teasing the ITS with a reveal set for Mid-Ohio would be smart.

Would be a welcome surprise for sure! I hope whatever teaser we get gives us some new info, not just some anime flashes of the exterior lol

Type S will carry everything over from the A-Spec tech with little more structural rigidity, stickier tires, 19 inch rims standard and probably a different wing

Hopefully the Type S will be a better value (relatively) than the A Spec 6M.

42K to get the same 200Hp in the 34K Si is a bit tough to swallow. If Type S is more than 47K here imma be less than impressed.

Okay, so be less than impressed! WGAF! If you can’t understand how amazing a value the A Spec is that’s on you!

Yeah I can imagine it’s a much harder choice for our Canadian family considering the Si is very well equipped.
I am hoping the Type S won’t disappoint like the base model but tempered my expectations. The right price point will certainly help

ITS seems like a dream car on top of the 6MT headed to me in June. I’d seriously consider a trade up if I want more power and gadgets but not at the expense of a bumpy ride, like in Civic Si.

IMO, the A Spec/Tech is a great deal.

In the US, it’s Si (27,300), Integra (31,895), Integra 6M (36,895).

Here, it’s Si (33,150), Integra (34,350), Integra 6M (42,550).

So, the base Integra is a very good value here and so is the Si still. However, the Integra 6M at $9400 over the Si and almost 45k after freight/pdi isn’t a great value at all. There are a few nice features on the A Spec Elite but they’re not worth the price. Looks like we don’t get maintenance plans or Acuralink sub either.

No you’re right, it’s a great value… if you’re math challenged or didn’t read closely enough to notice I’m talking Canadian prices.

The 3 setting dampers should be able to give a pretty comfortable ride compared to the Si.
That being said, I doubt the current Si is that bad… probably no worse than 10th in sport mode which I don’t find bad unless you’re on really bad roads.

My commute IS on really bad roads. The Integra’s dampers will be great news for me. And I want all of its gadgets!

You're basically buying it for the attractive body style. I don't think the price difference is justified. Our SI's are loaded pretty good...including that heated steering wheel.
What it's going to come down to for me is seeing one in person. Is it enough to win me over!? Online, the Integra certainly looks more premium.

The Integra Type S just needs to come out. That’s all it would take for me to buy it. It’s a more luxurious CTR, and that’s absolutely perfect for me, especially if it has SH-AWD so I can forget about the GR Corolla. I highly desire a better seat, stereo, and features than these toy racing cars often come up with. The Integra’s Si level trim is also worth CTR level money for the same reasons as above. At a certain age you won’t want to skip the nicer things just for extra sheer power. I’d rather tune and upgrade the Integra at that point. And If I could I would buy the massaging and cooling seats in the MDX Type S. However, if you are young and have peach fuzz on your chin than you can buy a CTR.

Looks like the Type R will be there - still in camo lol. Definitely keeping my hopes up to get some teasers!

It's not until July, I might make the trip up there to see the CTR in person! If anything, I think that might be when Honda releases more info on the new CTR rather than an ITS, but that's just me.

Value is very subjective. Many of us are comparing the Acura higher trim packages/pricing to a Civic Type R. If the dealers I have been in contact with have been truthful, then the Civic Type R is going to be about the same price as the Integra A spec + manual coming with 100+ less horsepower than the Honda. Personally, I’ll opt for the performance over the nostalgia/luxury of the Acura even though I’d prefer to own another integra again. So there’s plenty of people who give a F, really. Different strokes, different folks.
