2023 Acura Integra: This Is It​

Did you think the "prototype" would make it to production almost entirely unchanged? You were right.​

Plus Point: There a manual/"stick-shift"!

Minus Points: Basically everything else ... it's a bit ugly, it's got four doors, it's got a silly screen poking up above the dashboard, ...

Acura always manage to disappoint somehow.
I was so looking forward to the new TLX.
It finally came. Underpowered and over-weight.
Sad.

It looks alright but it shouldnt be sporting the Integra name...

Underpowered and over-weight.

Enough about you, how was the car??

The enthusiast crowd was obviously first to put down their deposits and naturally opted for the manual. But given the car is basically a Civic Si thats slightly more luxurious and heavier, will be interesting to see the take rate on transmissions after it goes on sale.

Also noting the only other transmission choice is a CVT, a baffling decision for a luxury/sports starting at above $30K. The fact that they didn't include a DCT like the outgoing ILX shows Honda didn't give two ?'s about making the Integra stand out.

It is a Civic essentially. It always was a Civic underneath. What is wrong to me is that it is a 4 door. The original, which I had, was a 3 door coupe/hatch. Apparently, Japan already gets the coupe version. I am holding out for that preferably as Type S based on the Civic Type R. Sadly, I doubt the US will ever get it. Like so many other cool cars that are limited to overseas. Fat, lazy, cheeseburger eating Americans only seem to want fat overweight SUVs and 4 door trucks. With current gas prices, I really want something akin to the 1991 Civic CRX that got 40 MPG and weighed around 2K Lbs.

Do you live in the US? If so, feel free to emigrate to some other country.

Buying massive SUVs is pretty much a worldwide thing. Too many people stupidly think bigger means safer, which isn't necessarily true (especially in the early days of SUVs where they had a bad tendency to roll over). The real question though is whether most people actually wanted them or wether the car industry thought they did - at one point there were very few "normal" cars you could buy because everyone was making SUVs and crossovers.
