No, the chassis likely won’t be more rigid. Why would they make it more rigid when the intent is a more street-centric car?
Stiffer chassis help both handling and ride comfort. When a chassis is more rigid, spring rates can be softer while still maintaining body control. When a chassis is floppy, manufacturers will compensate with really stiff suspension, but this makes ride quality terrible.

^^^^This^^^^

Plus there would be zero possibility Honda develops a DCT for a few thousand cars.

I mean they already had a very good DCT, that they scrapped to replace with a CVT. I guarantee an Integra Type S with the 10 spd would definitely punch above its weight class like the current Accord Sport 2.0T does.

Shit I did 8 years with zero down!

However, it will be paid in two…👍
Personally im gonna hold out for a dealer that does MSRP, or accepts hopes and dreams, thoughts and prayers and a couple food stamps on the side.
Being a responsible, successful adult that makes money is overrated, think about mother earth 🙄 *hopefully obvious sarcasm*

Beautiful car. Always liked the design of the new Integra because it doesn't have any sore points like what the Civic has with the hood. It has a solid design for 4 door luxury car, and its not obvious at all that its a liftback (at least its that way to me). I was really set on getting the new M3 but after the reveal it just looked too ugly for me. The Integra Type S could fill that niche for me.

Wish I had the money because I'd love to DD this and have the CTR and Mustang as my fun cars. If only I made an extra $50,000 😩

Thx I’m aware.

Highly probable it’s the same chassis with no difference and changed springs, sways, and bushings so it’s more comfortable as a daily.

The world will be surprised if it’s more.

Talked to my local Acura dealer yesterday and I asked him some questions on the type s. He said that they don't do markups instead they do a package that contains all weather floor mats, wheel locks and one other accessory. He said that the package is about $750. He also said that most Acura dealers don't do markups because you have to build and order the car online. I know things can change but if what he said is true then only a few Acura dealers will do markups.
I was told the same by the primary dealer I was working with when I was all set to pick up an FL5 at launch. And then the car came out and suddenly their tune changed. "Actually, we're adding a $5K markup now. Oh, and you're no longer first in line." So hopefully, for your sake, I hope that this dealer is being truthful with you.

Yeah that's why I'm not stressing if they do change up all of a sudden. Guess we will see next summer.

I had no idea they had a DCT!

Also is the 10 speed a good transmission? Like I mean ZF good?

10speed in the TLX S is pretty slow to respond and its tuned to auto upshift in the TLX Type S
