Contrary I don’t have a problem with the Integra as it is basically the same concept it was before. We will get an S or R version in the future. The Supra I’m a little saltier on because all the important bits are BMW and not actually Toyota. If the Supra was was it is built in house at Toyota it would be what it is…

I’ve learned that some people will just never be fucking happy and will always armchair something better than what the professionals can put together for them.

I don’t hate the new Integra. I just hate my life today :(

The rear end at least looks like a throwback to older Integras

I’m happy it has a name. I couldn’t confidently name a single alphanumeric-soup midsize SUV made by Acura. I also probably couldn’t tell you who made it if you gave me the model.

Let me address the common complaints, one by one.

^THIS^ Everyone is looking back at the old Integra as if it wasn’t just an upgraded Civic with conservative styling and everyone is upset that it still is.

Except that you can’t get a Civic Si hatchback.  This car is for those 132 people. Me being one of them, if was in the market.

Wait. At what point has the Integra ever been a visually impressive car?

If this thing ends up being a Civic Si with an Acura interior and ride, I’ll be perfectly happy with that.

Isn’t every check a check you can only cash once?

If they follow Integra tradition, it’ll be a Civic with more power. I’m OK with that.

The updated GTI comes in at $29,545, only a $2,245 jump from the Si; pricing hasn’t been announced for the new WRX, but the outgoing model is a mere $200 more than the Si.

Details are hazy 20 years on but I remember being on contour.org and discussing the decontenting that Ford did with latter-year Contours including my 2000 SVT.  One kinda trivial thing I recall is a trunk panel that blocked tail-light glare was deleted so if you had your back seats folded down the light would leak…

Ford doesn’t make any money on dealer markup, and dealers aren’t cancelling orders, Ford is.

Most cars with around 200hp will have a 1/4mile trap speed of about 90mph. There are many residential neighborhoods with straight enough roads more than a 1/2 mile long. 116mph should be obtainable by then.

Hello, straw man. The real issue is how quickly the car accelerates to reach triple digits. Unless you’re experienced it’s super easy to lose control.

Sure, a 200 HP vehicle can get to 116, but it takes a much longer time to get there.

I’ll have you know that 90hp can do 116mph just fine, thank you.
