Official: 2024 Integra Type S Gets 320 HP!

[AspecR]

Yes, the real question is why would you pay $57k for a TLX-S when you can get an RS3 for $61k...

Why you bringing the Germans into this? I can guarantee that no one looking for a RS3 is cross shopping it against a TLX-S. M2 or CLA 45 but definitely not a TLX-S.

i'm with you. for having a lot of similarities to the uninitiated... i think they're very different buyers. and i've cross shopped an M6 vs a Ford Raptor so i know about weird comparisons.. the marketing people definitely have different audiences, even if once in a while a weirdo like me comes along.

Hmm, same appeal as Type R vs TLX-S?

Manual transmission, smaller, lighter, sportier. Although it's physically very long it's relatively light and will feel smaller.

bingo. i never would've ventured into an acura dealership if it weren't for the ITS. i like the look of the TLX-S and the MDX-S but they're ultimately not what we're after as far as style and purpose.

the ITS to me will be a FUN car that I can also take to the track. a CTR would be great but can't find one for anywhere close to MSRP. not worth the premium to me and the ITS is being *promised* for MSRP. it'll be interesting to see where the Integra S lands price wise, lots of speculation but we'll find out soon what reality is. i'm sure no matter the price it'll still be easier to accept than a CTR for $10k over sticker. Then the question is.... how many will the be making?

this is what i have been talking about -- how new 2024 models will entice the market enough away from the CTR to help with pricing and availability. LOTS of people wanna buy this year's hot car... and it IS hot -- look at all the reviews. As long as they don't blow something on those new 2024s, when the reviews come out next year on those, we'll lose the buyers who aren't looking for a CTR specifically. This new Acura is indeed very enticing, and i agree that it looks to be the luxury alternative to this year's CTR. I am curious, as well, as to how they will hold it to MSRP.

What do you guys think the realistic MSRP for the Type S to be?

 

[Robert.C]

I think this car will be quite popular. For example, I wouldn't daily a CTR but would daily an ITS. I have to imagine that's true for a small portion of interested buyers. For that reason alone, it's on my radar. I continuously find the FL5 hard to justify when I know it will mostly just sit in the garage.

What do you guys think the realistic MSRP for the Type S to be?

My guess is ~47500 plus extra for paint.

More than the Civic Type R. What will be the ADM? That's the bigger issue.

It will be easier to acquire at MSRP than the Civic Type R, Acura dealers are much more willing to do MSRP than a Honda dealer.

More like $48,995 before paint upcharge

I just hope that doesn't change. I hope this somehow "eases up" the market and diversifies it with some CTR guys moving over and Honda dealerships being forced to adapt.

It might happen but I doubt it will be a regular enough occurrence to warrant a dealership changing their behavior

Well, here’s something to consider too. I don’t think there’s as much room on the ITS to add a big ADM. I say that because the folks interested in the ITS are pretty much the same folks interested in the CTR. It’s basically the same car + some lux features. We’ve already demonstrated a limited tolerance for crazy ADMs. With the ITS certainly having a higher MSRP inching toward $50k, (roughly the same price folks will pay for a CTR + ~$5k ADM), I think the most that an Acura dealer could tack onto an ITS is ~$2k if any. I could see them doing things like “forcing” buyers to purchase accessories or other add-ons as a strategy to line their pockets a bit more without getting ridiculous (like Honda dealers).

i think it'll be around there but also have a few key options that will send it over $50k (beyond paint).

I think that most buyers, and Acura will put a decent value on all of the luxury appointments compared to CTR, BUT then again, the CTR has more overall enthusiast desirability, i think. kind of like how a GT3 touring costs more than a winged GT3 ,and especially in the aftermarket. WHY? it's not justifiable on paper. it'll be interesting to see what the bean counters determine the MSRP value to be. the anticipation is killing me!

48,999

Are those tacked-on fender flares? A pity if they are... the clean, integrated flares of the FL5 would suit the ITS much better than an "aftermarket" tacked-on look

Those are not tacked on flares and the crackle tune is awesome….I might have a CW type R for sale soon.
