They couldn't give the new Integra a little more performance than 200hp lol

Yea, seems to be the exact same tune as the Civic SI.

It get's the dynamic dampers that were lost in the 11th gen SI. It's a bit longer than the SI as well. No official weight but I would think it's heavier than the SI thus slower as well.

The sense of excitement they're trying to convey is off in the production of that video.

Here's a promo for the DB2 from the 90s for comparison (neon snow-suit and all):

^ For the new promo video... like... shouldn't they have some scenes from F1... I had no idea who Pierre Gasly is... and I was just like "Who's this scrub driving around in the new Integra?" hahahahaha

200hp is awful for this car, it's going to be slower than the CSX Type-S was 15 fucking years ago. What is the literal point of this release?

Or is this press release only talking about the base model? Not the Type-S?

Yeah that was the nail in the coffin is that they could have dropped the 2.0t from the Accord in. Even DC had a B-series compared to a D-series Civic.

Pretty hilarious in that press release video how much they try to show the young driver is having.

Even with Type S it probably be like 220-230hp? Which doesn't mean anything if they use the 1.5 motor. Owners with the civic si are already pushing that in the aftermarket scene.

Is Japan getting this too? I find that if it's not offered in Japan and it's NA only, like the 9th gen Si, it's probably gonna be pretty shit. For instance, Japan never got a 9th gen civic that looks like ours. They only got the European FK2 Type R (also a 9th gen), limited to 750 units.

Japan got the 10th gen civic and the FK8, hence it being good.

Motortrend is estimating that the Integra will be at least 150 lbs heavier than the (less powerful) Civic hatch, making it at least 3250 lbs:

:okay: every person younger than me at my work uses this gif on me constantly

Why Acura, why use that name. Why use a name with a good rep on such a mediocre, barely lukewarm product.

Stop giving me hope :okay:

Is this worse than Ford using the Mustang name as an EV?

Names these days are pretty interchangeable. The way I see it, the civic is a good car. This will sell to people who want a slightly more luxurious Civic. It'll be 35-40k Cad so a bit more than Civic but less than TLX so it'll make sense.

+1. I think maybe our nostalgia is getting in our way - this is still the base model of the Integra which was always just a nicer Civic and the current Civic is a great car so this should be pretty nice for an entry level car.

I would expect that the Type-S will be the one that we are more judgemental about. It should be as good or better than a GTI.

Nostalgic side note: My uncle owned a 1G Integra and was giving young tween me a ride one day when I asked him why, when the tach doesn't redline till 7k, that he doesn't always run it up to 7k. He promptly showed me what a Honda sounds like at 7k - it's one of the fondest memories I have when I think about how I got into cars.

thats what the EL was for :lawl:

Bruh, its the same engine as the CR-V and Civic lol.

What they dont tell you is Acura probably tweak the interior "fake" sound. So it prob does sound different. The exhaust is just for looks. Lol

Do the 1.5 turbos still have oil dilution issues?

Pricing announced!
Integra starts at $34,350 top trim will be $42,550

Integra - $34,350
Integra A-Spec® - $37,050
Integra Elite A-Spec® Package - $42,550
Integra Elite A-Spec® Package and 6-speed manual - $42,550

On paper, this seems like a hard sell next to a Civic SI or GTI. I'll reserve further judgment until reviews come out, but it feels like a missed opportunity not to offer the 6MT at a lower trim level.

So $600 more than the Civic Si, but I bet there wouldn't be very many base model Integras at all...

That’s a lotta money for a tarted up Honda Civic Si

They want 42.5K for a 200hp lol. Go fuck yourself Acura.

At least we Canadians get a better deal than the Americans.

Integra $34,350 ($26,834.16 USD)
Integra A-Spec® $37,050 ($28,943.39 USD)
Integra Elite A-Spec® Package $$42,550 ($33,239.98 USD)
Integra Elite A-Spec® Package and 6-speed manual $42,550 ($33,239.98 USD)

Wow the pricing is expensive. I wonder how much more money the CTR will cost.

I guess if you absolutely have to have 4 doors.......... but anyone who wants a sporty car is not buying this over a GR86/BRZ

not surprised the type S will slot at just under fiddy Gees
