^ with the way cars are built, being so heavy, we probably won't see cars with small enough brakes to fit under a 14" wheel. :( |
I'm guessing they'll make something that's nothing like the old Integra, but use the badge in a silly attempt to drum up sales, since that seems to be the tread these last few years. |
Sometimes I just wish car manufacturers would reproduce their iconic vehicles and simply outfit it with newer technologies (such as stronger engines, better materials for chassis to improve rigidity and cut down weight) without changing the overall presentation of it |

http://images.thecarconnection.com/l...00477834_l.jpg Like this ^ Such a great idea. It's kinda like how Nike re-sells those old Jordans and people still buy them. Toyota did a good job with the cruiser because they updated it with safety features (airbags, abs, etc) but didn't really mess with the forumla. |
just like how they did with the rx-7 and nsx back in the day...kept somewhat same body style just kept on improving it each year. |
Honda/Acura would make a bunch of money if they re-introduced the DC chassis with the JDM front end. The R&D is already there, and with 20 years of technological improvement it shouldn't be too difficult to incorporate these developments from the old into the "new-old" The body styling still looks good compared to modern cars in a sense it looks fun to drive and not boring |
^one can only dream |
Definitely not holding my breath for anything decent. Honda/Acura won't create anything worthy of an "R" badge anymore. |

current cars have superior roll over protection compared to the cars of the 90's lots of things would have to be re-engineered to meet modern safety standards. Reintroduction of light weight body shells, simple high quality interior builds, four wheel double wishbone suspension and a simple low displacement, high rev engine formula.... one could dream. |

If Honda or acura were to re-release some cars, but updated, we'd probably see some dumb shit like hidden exhaust pipes, "earth dreams" under the hood, and an eco button. They can't do anything right anymore. Such a disappointment. |

Volkswagen sort of remade the MK1 Golf, Quote:
Unless there is some small corner where they still make these older cars, we will never see these cars on showroom floors again. |
The last time Honda said something sporty was coming, the CR-Z which nobody ever asked for came along. As much as I love Honda and stand by their products, I have no hopes or expectations for this upcoming "sport car". The TLX was supposed to be a move towards a sporty direction, and even that is a solid meh at best. |
I hope they make a new 2 door coupe product as well. I see there are presets for vehicle model's when I input new vehicle in the system and for some reason I see the code SLX appeared recently. Not sure if typo or for reals either. |

Car makers usually like to add a hint of retro style like the new camera, dodge challenger.. mustang did. They cant sell car to mass market if they just throw in more airbags onto the same body with new leather, digital cluster and a new engine. |
there's no way DC2 Integra will meet modern crash standards, their A-pillars are too thin to survive roll-overs http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog....ed_integra.jpg |
