I’m amazed by the number of complaints that the new Integra is “just a nicer Civic.” Uh, yeah- so was the old one! I assume the complaints are coming from younger people who weren’t around for the older Integras and only remember the Type R. I *was* around back then, and I can tell you the vast majority of 1990s Integras had a 140-hp 4-cylinder, cloth seats, hubcaps, and a 4-speed automatic. It was basically just a luxury Civic back then, too.

I would love to see an Integra Type R again, but the question is does Honda want the Type R coming from Acura. It didn’t matter back in the 90s because the Type R brand wasn’t grounded in the states as it was in Japan and Europe.

really like what they did with this car and the trim packages. i bet the type s will be a great entry as well. I'm considering this as my next car.

For being a “nicer civic”, the Integra has also always outperformed the civic and its Si model. All the civics of the time (at least in the US) were all SOHC while the Integra always had the DOHC motors. Now the new Integra is sharing the same motor as the Si. The power difference against the old generation Integras and civics weren’t by crazy margins, but the difference was substantial. The newer models of civics have a very small power difference compared to this new Integra. Even if the older Integras were just “nicer civics”, they felt distinctly different. This new one does not convince me that the new Integra will be distinctly different though. But i don’t know, we’ll have to see when it’s released. Hopefully a Type-S model will be significantly better than the base and Si.

New drinking game: every time Doug says “Civic” in this video, take a shot

We've come full circle. Cars used to only come with manuals and the automatic was a luxury option. Then you couldn't even get the manual with the luxury trim offered. Now you have to upgrade to the luxury trim to get the manual. IDK if that's a circle of some weird triangle but it is what it is.

I get that the original Integra came as a 4-door sedan and I get that it wasn’t really anything special, but that’s not really the one people wanted. If you’re going to bring something back, do it properly and bring back the thing people want, not the thing people haven’t given a crap about in the last 15 years.

The lack of rear seat vents is a deal breaker. I otherwise love the car, but I need to haul kids comfortably in the back. I recently had a long Uber ride in the back of a base Accord without rear vents. On a hot day, it was miserable back there.

I had a 2005 RSX; it was fun despite having an automatic transmission and not being type S.

This is Acura's new Blazer. Had a lot of promise, ended up being blah and shitting on the name (and the legacy) of a previously great car. I've owned several Integras (incl. RSX's) and I loved them. I was excited for this. This Integra got the GM badge engineering treatment.

Kinda of agree. Although I think GM will at least make more money whoring out the Blazer name since they slapped it on a CUV which is what most people want today... This being a sedan will probably make it not be much more successful than the ILX sedan it replaces despite the throwback name, especially with it not offering any noteworthy benefits over the Civic aside from all the convenience features that Honda purposely took away for this current generation just to give them to the higher priced Acura version.
