An old Bell helmet ad read, “ If you have a $10 head, wear a $10 helmet, for everything else, wear a Bell”.
“I don’t ride at race speeds”
They have absolutely no claim.
I stood next to a GTO today and was amazed how small it looked vs cars today. It felt like I was standing next to a V8 RWD Cobalt in how small it felt. I REALLY miss that from cars today.
I’m trying to made sense of my first Forza with FH5, so I’m drawn to these articles. But I have to admit they don’t help that much. Very very vague informations (albeit better than the game’s mess).
It just looks like they stole the Integra name and plastered it on a car that doesn’t share anything with the spirit of the original cars. I think people are just tired of it. When everything now becomes an M car or an AMG this or that with not much more than some stickers and few add ons it stops being valid.
I’m 40, my roommate in college had a GS-R, and my girlfriend at the time had a teal RS. Back then, I thought that GS-R was the coolest thing ever, and would’ve easily traded my A70 Supra Turbo 5-speed for it (oh how the turn tables...) Hearing the announcement that Integra was coming back brought me warm waves of…
None of that matters. If you’re making a car that is clearly meant to sell based in some part on nostalgia, you have to make sure that it resonates with the people who are supposed to feel nostalgic about it.
Damn that was good. Should be up in the original article. My only digression is that 2 door coupe versions are so much better looking than sedans. I could forgive a lot stylistically--just give us more coupes! (yes, i bought the last Si coupe)
There were so many cars I wanted in high school that seemed attainable at the time that are so stupid expensive now that I wish I bought them all. The early 2000's were a great time to be shopping for fun used cars. Then the internet came along and cash for clunkers and now everything left is expensive.
Maybe not visually impressive like an NSX, but at least it had character once.
It’s a copy/paste of the TLX is what I’m getting at:
It doesn’t have to be impressive, but it should have been at least a little distinct. If it didn’t have a giant “INTEGRA” graphic on the side I wouldn’t know it was a new model. When I first saw the pictures last night I thought they posted the wrong car.
I feel your pain. I remember the days of $8K FD RX-7s.
Website infamous for its snark and distain for modern vehicles upset about snark and distain for modern vehicles from its users.
It will probably be a good car, but the design feels phoned-in. It looks like everything else they make...boring. There doesn’t seem to be anything special about the design that, to me, makes it worthy of the Integra name. It’s like when GM just slapped a Pontiac badge on a Monaro and called it a GTO. Sure it was a…
The Chevy Blazer would like a word with you
I feel the only reason for the “INTEGRA” side graphic is because they couldn’t tell the difference between it and a yellow painted Civic.
The only car I truly regretted buying was a 2001 Volvo V70 T5 Turbo Wagon with a manual transmission. It was a Volvo Certified Used Car. I bought it in 2003 with 27k miles. On paper it is everything that I love about cars. Fast, Wagon, Manual, Weird. In reality it was the biggest collossal waste of money ever. It…
