Always will have a soft spot for the Integra. Now Honda just needs to reskin it and bring back the Prelude...that would definitely be a car I'd buy in a heartbeat (fwd and all lol).

I had a 3rd and 4th (RSX) gen back in the day. I have had enough disappointment from Acura (and Honda) since then to hold my expectations. I'll be pleasantly surprised if it's executed well.

I had a first Gen. Bet this one has a 4-cylinder turbo and automatic transmission with no manual offered. Just like every other manufacturer... New cars are boring smart phone emulators with aps, on wheels.

IMO, Acura's coolest car (outside the original NSX) was the Vigor.

While you are not likely wrong, Honda still has the CTR show they can still make a world beating FF. The question is whether they are just going to fit the CTR drivetrain onto an 11th gen civic with a coupe body.

I had a couple of buddies rolling around with ITRs while we were in high school ('06-'07). Very cool cars.
Sadly, I'm sure this will just be a re-skinned Civic Type R. There've been tons of renderings floating around this week on IG, that do look pretty good.

I fear this could just be an exercise in marketing. At best it would be a re-bodied Civic Si or hopefully Civic Type R. The new Civic has no coupe variant so I expect the Integra to be a sedan only.

Maybe not, a few months ago an Acura coupe was spied on the streets. I definitely could see them making an Integra sedan though to replace the ILX.

I owned the 2nd generation Integra. One of the best cars I've ever driven. Integra's 4-cylinder engine was so far ahead of GM's "The Iron Duke" that the writing was on the wall: GM was about lose the small car segment to Honda and others.
Saturn - or GM's answer to small cars - was shut down in 2009. |

They used drones to announce the return of the Integra last night. Based on that silhouette it's clearly a coupe. Last edited by AlpineBoost; 08-13-2021 at 11:22 AM.. |

A sleeker, 2-door Civic Type R that's as nice looking as the rendering in the article, and consider it done.
As someone already said, the Integra has always been a reskinned Civic so this would keep it within the same philosophy. And the CTR is by all accounts an excellent driver's car so I don't see what's not to like |

My 2nd car was a 1995 Integra GS-R. I still miss that car.
