No, this isn’t another teaser for the next-gen Integra, it’s the reveal of the production car set to arrive in dealerships this spring.
At this time two trims will be offered, the base Integra and an A-Spec trim. A Technology Package can be added to the A-Spec that adds thing…
And here's some more photos for your viewing pleasure:
I like that *a lot*. It definitely looks waaaay better in subdued colors.
I really like it, too. I look forward to more pricing details. At $30k i really, really like it - at $40k to get a manual, I am out of the game and back into a $27k Civic hatch. Wonder how much the A-spec trim adds.
The Civic Si dressed in a tuxedo! You'll find a lot more NVH refinement here over the Si. As for those bemoan-ing the lack of the 1st-3rd gen 3 door coupe, get over it. You're not in your 20s/ early 30s any more. You've probably added a SO or spouse, kids, and animal(s). A 3 door doesn't cut it with infant seats. A 5 door hatch and a set of Yakima crossbars...who needs a pickup to make those trips to Home Depot?
Nice car. Wonder how the rubber band transaxle feels. I just bought my second Subaru Outback with a CVT so I'm not abstaining... but I'd prefer to have a true auto with gears.
In reply to pointofdeparture :
Agreed, I didn't have anything personal against the yellow prototype, but this looks really nice.
In reply to OHSCrifle :
Same here. My daily is a '15 Honda Fit with the CVT. I don't hate it, but I'd also prefer an automatic with gears.
I like it. Looks miles better in these colors.
They even managed to make that civic hood shut line look ok.
It looks reasonably good (if somewhat looking just like basically every other car on the road), but only 200hp + CVT. Hard pass.
I was excited they were bringing the name back, as a former Integra owner, but I am no longer excited and wouldn't even consider buying it when my GTI is ready for replacement. Seriously, 200hp??? So it'll be marginally quicker than a Corolla. Yay.
It looks like a decent modern sedan, but the nothing about it excites me, and if I ran across it in a parking lot for the first time the only thing that would catch my eye is that "INTEGRA" name stamped into the bumpers. I'd want to know why the owner made this customization to some new Accord or something and how they made it look factory - 3D-printed plates bodyworked into the bumpers perhaps? 
If on the other hand Honda made a lightweight, decently powered sports coupe with good handling and an H-pattern gearbox and called it the Derpturdra, that could be interesting 
Well, it is what it is. It was a nicer Civic in the past and I assume it will be so today. Makes sense to replace the ILX. I think the real disappointment is that there are no two door coupes available but I guess people will get over it.
So just 20 hp over the late 90s integra GSR? That's a little underwhelming.
In reply to thatsnowinnebago :
30HP more and 71 more LB/FT of torque so pretty significant there. But overall I an not going to rushing to the Acura dealer for this one. If I needed a nice comfy smaller car then maybe but I think I'd go Accord before this. And yes I know the accord is a lot bigger.

No I'm not that age. I just turned 40 and while I have a fiance, she already has a 4door vehicle that makes 185hp without a turbo ('18 Mazda 3) and knocks down almost 40 on the highway.
So we don't need a 2nd vehicle to do basically the exact same thing. That's why at some point when I buy myself a car, it's likely to be a Supra or new Z.
Not bad, but how is this different from an ILX/TLX again? If I saw it driving down the street I'm not sure if I'd even notice it was different.

I'm in my 60s, and I'd rather have the 3 door version. Not everyone is tied to infant seats or animals
I like that it has three pedals, not many cars do these days.
In reply to bmw88rider :
But it also brings 400-500 lbs more weight than the last GSR.......The car in the more sedate colors make it look a lot better and I'm sure it'll be a good car so I wish them well but not a car for me.
In reply to ShinnyGroove (Forum Supporter) :
The TLX is a significantly larger car, very easy to determine in person. This Integra is definitely a successor to the ILX though, which was a two-generation-old Civic Si done up as an Acura.

I agree, at 61. The long door of a two door car is a lot easier for an old, fat man to get into and out of. Let the rear seat people suffer.

If I had a spouse, kids, and animals, I would not be able to afford a new Integra...
How Magi!

Significantly more size and weight, too.

and 1 hp less than the RSX Type S.....
In reply to stuart in mn :
same, my kids have their own cars

I'll add to this pile. My first new car purchase was a '96 GS-R coupe. I was 24 then. No spouse, no kids. All these years later, my kids are all teens. One drives, the other two will soon. The Integra name is nostalgic for me and if I bought one I'd insist on a manual coupe. I suspect there are others who are in similar spots.
So for now, while I'm happy to see the Integra back, I'll pass.
