My first car was a gsr so I’m a little sweet on the integra... this new thing is looking as bad as the new wrx.
Looks like a poorly reskinned 11G Civic, as expected. ?
Same! The 2nd Gen Integra is one of my all time favorite cars. I've owned the same one for twenty years and recently acquired another, much cleaner GS-R. I get what Honda/Acura is trying to do here but I feel like they really missed the mark. This is definitely not shaping up to be the spiritual successor to the older models. This feels more like a nostalgia rename of the ILX.My first car was a gsr so I’m a little sweet on the integra... this new thing is looking as bad as the new wrx.
That ad is great! Got me right in the feels. The mismatched stitching of the knob vs the boot is killing me though.
But in better news!
Fuckin' brilliant ad.

I don't wanna say this is a hot take, let's call it a mild one - would be something if Honda saw what's happening with the BRZ86, Nissan with the Z, Mazda with what surely will be an improved Miata (ND3? NE?) and/or whatever they're considering cooking up with the rotary (RX-9?) and brought back the S2000. That car was seriously special.My dad owned an Integra when I was in high school and my first and only new car was an Acura RSX, the successor. I really loved that car. Sadly it really looks like this new one will be a big disappointment.
I know the Civic has a big fan base and I actually like the restyled front fascia of the NSX but I really lost a lot of interest in Honda over the years. They've changed a lot since the 90's and early 2000's.
I agree, and I have faith we'll see a s2000 successor in the future, but I'm pretty sure it will be after the shift to electric. One of the big reasons I'm looking at the Z is because there's no comparable Honda anymore. I love my R but I really want something with 2 seats and RWD.I don't wanna say this is a hot take, let's call it a mild one - would be something if Honda saw what's happening with the BRZ86, Nissan with the Z, Mazda with what surely will be an improved Miata (ND3?

Appetite for rowing gears and RWD is still plentiful, and alongside whatever the Teggy turns out to be, could be quite a way to send off ICE before they inevitably go EV.
