A Legend Returns: New Acura Integra Coming for a New Generation

[Msoupe]

Says the guy driving a not-a-supra

Honestly - heritage is dumb. In cars and most things in life. But damn is that a waste of what they could have done.

Yeah, I can give two shits about Integra heritage, but it's like asking for a burger and getting a quinoa salad. They missed the mark big time imho.

Since I wasn’t really a Honda guy growing up, I also don’t have a lot of nostalgia towards the Integra name. However with that said, I still think if this car can be spec’d out in a (GS-R like) trim with the (retuned compared to Type R) Accord’s 252hp with an available automatic transmission, then it’ll be a winner on the mainstream market. That would be 0-60 times in the low 5’s with the Accord 2.0 specs. But that would be way too logical because that would undercut some Honda/Acura products from a performance perspective.

Logically, it would (unfortunately) be wise to expect a luxury Civic Si with an available CVT that tops out in the high $30k range (if not approaching $40k zone)

The non Type R Integra from the previous gen was a dog too, so from that point of view it's keeping with tradition. I just don't like how big and tall the car looks. I owned a Championship White Type R back in Europe with the proper red Recaro interior and it was an amazing car.
I'm fully expecting a Type S at some point, with the CTR engine, which will be aimed at people who want a less "crazy" looking CTR with an upscaled interior. But I doubt that will come for the first model year.

This is extremely disappointing. .

Well, now when people make Supra jokes, we can at least respond, have you seen the new Integra? Who failed at heritage worse?

The Acura ILX sedan has officially been discontinued in favor of the.... uh... "Integra". So I guess.... long live the ILX since that's basically what the new "Integra" actually is other than the name?

unfortunately when an Elantra N has a low 5 second 0-60 and starts in the high 30s they better price this very carefully because you can also get the N in a manual and people(regardless of “heritage”) won’t wanna pay mid to high 40s for a rebadged civic

"Andrew Quillin from Acura’s PR team recently announced on Twitter that the reservations for the new Integra are trending above 70 percent for the manual gearbox option."

Interesting.
