Acura coming out with a new Integra

[dishdude]

I wasn't a fan of the older Integras and this rebirth isn't winning me over. A 1.5T with a CVT? No thanks.

Monniiiiccccaaaaaa!

Ja Rule launch edition is what I am hoping for

 

[2strokeNorthstar]

I would love to see this. We need a new sporty commuter car in the next couple years and the choices are boring. Everything is a CUV or CVT

 

[ET16]

I'm a little surprised that it doesn't have more power.

Yup. It's a Civic Si, a perfectly good car, with an Acura wrap. We'll see what the premium is. The 2.0 turbo from the Accord would have been a better option.

I am directly in this car's target audience but it leaves me cold with the Civic powertrain.

I was hoping for at least the powertrain out of the CTR. Not saying the 1.5 isn't adequate, but I'd hoped for a little more sport.

That'll come later, and of course it'll cost ya extra.

They've spent money on the marketing for sure
Major billboards around NYC
Trying for the young people considering this is the first car I've seen that launched with it's own anime short series

As for the car itself, I want to believe that the magic has been resurrected from the golden Honda years
But the 1.5 with a CVT makes me shudder
Maybe a Type R version is on the way with the big 2.0T from top Accords and a 6 speed w/LSD?
An electronic version of HTTS from the Prelude SH?

Integra has always been using Civic powertrain. If you are looking for Accord powertrain it would probably be the CL/TL/Legend

 

[PWMDMD]

I've owned an Acura and while I liked it other than the MDX they are a completely irrelevant car company. I can't believe they are still solvent.

 

[Starman2112]

I had a 1991 Integra LS 5-speed manual I bought new. Sold it to my sister when I bought my first house. Loved that car.

 

[97prizm]

Yeah Acura confirmed usa sales but backed away when it was rumored that sh-awd was coming either optional or possibly standard. Then now it's only coming as a "performance " fwd.

 

[john_pifer]

I haven't really been a fan of the brand since the early '90s, but that new TL is good looking. Turbo V6 with good power. Has a FWD-based AWD system. Won't satisfy the enthusiasts looking for ultimate performance without compromise - they'll go for BMW. But it'll steal some value-oriented customers away from Audi.

^ Looks better than an S4, by far.

By far might be a stretch.

Or just plain Wrong, S4 all day every day and I’m kind of an Acura / Honda fan.

I think it blows it out of the water. Just no contest.

But I’ve never thought the A4/S4 was good-looking anyway.

And I’m a fan of “Japanese” styling, which tends to be more angular and sharp-edged.

I think that's the bottom line...soft vs hard lines. I've always thought the A4 was kind of feminine in a way...flame suit on.

 

[buster]

A friend of mine had a 95 Integra. Really nice car in its day.

Do they even sell TLX with V6 any more? Once they retired Acura TL 2008-2011 body style, it has been nothing but either hideous or homely looking TLs and that includes my onw 2012.
