I’m just hoping I’m number one on my dealers list of people to buy. As long as the type S has a DCT and GTI/WRX numbers it’s an open check book for me
You went radio silent for a while.. been waiting for you to get us some more details! Not disappointed!! Happy to see 4 doors for sure. Now will it be a 10spd AT or DCT
I think the one big thing you mention is the Sales numbers. Only a sedan or hatchback will increase volume. A coupe will significantly decrease that volume. If they offer a 2 and 4 door option though..
Yeah this is getting really confusing now. The silhouette definitely screams 2 door coupe/hatchback. However motor trend did say that with the pop up headlights and overall shape it’s likely a homage to the older cars.
with the NSX going out this might actually be its successor as a Supra...
In the leaked time frame for Acura it literally states “new compact sedan” = 4 doors
as for the manual option, I guess we don’t know but that’s why the Si exists
Yup, the current gen EA888 and DSG and virtually bulletproof. I don’t really beat on my cars and I can afford the 400 dollar transmission flush every 40k. And the engine has some life to it. It’s hard to really get the Si into a place I like when I drive it
It’s crazy how tight lipped Acura has been. If it’s a 2022 redesign it’s bound to be hitting the market sooner than later too. I want them to make me not buy a GTI but I’m not sure how much I’m willing to wait it out
You’ll have to update us on the new CVT step shifting. I’m pretty much sold on moving to the new GTI, as I really hate the current CVT. But love everything else about the car
Well said. I am waiting on the Acura small sedan as well for the DCT. I really don’t enjoy driving MT where I live for work. Honestly even tempted to change my weekend car to an AT.
This is likely so that Acura small sedan (ILX/RSX/Integra) buyers stay with Acura and don’t downgrade to the civic. it would be basically the same car for currently 3-4K less. The new car is likely to be a lot more and less competition with each other but time will tell.
And I really don’t like the Si seats anymore, loved the bolstered feel at first but without an adjustable headrest I really am never comfortable. Neck always unsupported. Big reason why I will probably go to touring or RSX/Integra when it goes on sale
