10 out of 10 for me. The attention to detail of the exterior, interior, and engine bay is really impressive. Widened rear doors shows no expense was spared aesthetically.
Love how utilitarian the interior is, reminiscent of the DC2 and EK9. I hope a Sportline trim is available in the US, as the...
3 videos, 6 million views on YouTube in 3 weeks? I think that says otherwise. And you're wrong, every product needs to be marketed in some way, no matter how "great" it is. Sorry you're not who Acura is targeting lol, it's just an advert.
Vince Staples is one of the most critically acclaimed hip hop artist in this generation. Hip Hop is the most popular genre in the US (go look up streaming numbers). He's also from Southern California which ties into the subculture that the Integra is synonymous with from the late 90s to 2000s...
Nice, something official. I really think it'll do a lap in the 7:30s, which would be remarkable for a manual, fwd car. Curious to see whether the tire is bespoke to the Type R, or an off-the-shelf variant.
This is looking like the 10th gen, perfected. More aero, more cooling, more tire. 320 hp is my guess, as that's what the Euro-spec FK8 had since launch. If the weight is kept in check, it should be faster than a manual Golf R.
Hoping to see a full reveal in the spring.
For anyone who hasn't read it, here's the article with the numbers

Like the article said, it's a "momentum car", not an engine car. If that's what you're into, I'm sure its a pleasure to drive.
This sounds more realistic. MT trapped the 1/4 at 92.8 mph, which in 2021, is comical. No doubt fuel economy and emission standards play a part, but from a performance standpoint, this car is disappointing.
Styling is subjective, but you can at least distinguish a 10th gen Si from the other trims on the road. It'll probably be a better drive, but this is the least ambitious Si since the EP3 imo.
A lot has changed in 5 years. Theres so many nuisances that can make a car faster that engineers can play with. The new GT3 is 16 seconds faster than the last one, with identical weight and power figures. It got there with wider tracks, a longer wheelbase, more downforce, and a new tire...
Looks really good imo, aside from the wing. I know this sounds crazy, but I think a ring time in the 7:30s is possible, assuming the power to weight ratio is at least the same as the FK8. Can't wait to see it in motion.
Good point on the TLX engine lineup. I used the VW/Audi comparison because that's the closet delta to use outside of looking within Honda. The A3 and MK8 Golf are on the same platform and interior, tech, and build quality are on par. The gap between the brands is more relevant from A4 and up...
Then why'd they...
Never mind.
There's so many reasons why that's the wrong line of thought imo, but that's beyond me. I'm just grateful for a new Integra.
I can see the Type S coming in at that price, only if they position it below the new CTR.
Which imo, is dumb. But with the TLX Type S being as slow as it is, it makes sense from a marketing perspective to hold the Integra back. Only Honda could be this backwards. Just give us the choice of a...
