  • The 2023 Acura Integra Prototype Reveal is insulting for me. If there's two words to describe it, it's "Marketing Manipulation". I can't believe that Acura (Honda) wants us to believe that this is the new Integra. I'll let you know what this new "Integra" really is in this video and provide further details on this new Integra and my speculation on the performance and Type-S. Let me know what you think about the 2023 Acura Integra prototype in the comments section below.

    Even though the 1st gen Integra started as a 5 door hatch, it's most recognized as being a coupe. Yes, this is would have better off being called a TSX or ILX. I think if they would have made a coupe version to fill the void of the NSX, they would have gotten a better response. But, I also think some of this "fake rage" is silly from the enthusiast community.
    If y'all were that hardcore about sport coupes, (from all brands) it would show in sales. A lot of people are just "window shopping" on the internet. When it came to buying, certain coupes sat on the lot. (like the SI coupe) I fully understand why Honda played it safe, they can't take their chances on a "flakey" enthusiast community. .

    As someone with an integra I'm a little disappointed but not surprised. Acura/Honda isn't going to spend millions designing a bespoke chasis that will very likely struggle in sales past the initial release. Not to mention the msrp would likely be much higher making it even more difficult for the average enthusiast to afford. I don't mind the design and hope the type s builds on this and uses the k20 from the CTR. While I'm not over the moon with the car thus far I'm going to wait until i see the car in person and am able to drive it before i make a decision. There's still so much we don't know.

      @DJAizakku 2 роки тому

      The main reason it should have been 2-door is that all of Acura's products are 4-door save for the outgoing NSX. Also, why buy this when the Civics (the car that shares this Integra's platform) is also a 4-door? Remember Prelude? Yeah, that was killed cause the Accord fulfilled the same wants and needs that Prelude offered. Overlap between different brands is fine, overlap within your own brand can be a disaster.
      All I'm saying is that the Integra should take the 2-door role if the Civic is no longer going to have it and it would be a more special car that would have its own identity instead of being a smaller TLX. Like how Dodge is doing extremely well with Chargers and Challengers even though they are basically the same car.

      They were truthful in that this is "gateway vehicle for the next generation". I know people who have no idea what an Integra is...crazy I know...but Acura knows exactly what they're doing. They need mass appeal and this generation is fine with a regular looking car. If they can hit this out of the park, then they could bring bring back a coupe, and all that, but their business needs to thrive and if they can do that with a name like Integra to increase chances of re-solidifying the Integra name, then I'm in support of it. Forget the name, it's a decent looking sedan with a manual shift and peppy engine. Let's see how it goes, but yes, it's not what my GS-R is unfortunately :/ NSX is another example tho, it's not like the old NSX, but what an amazing super car!

Hell, the modern Ferrari 296 and the McLaren Artura r both much better Acura NSXs, and they can actually compete with the competition.

The Integra however looks like it’s gonna b a good Integra since it’s gonna drive like an Integra (being based on the Civic SI like the old days certainly helps).

      A coupe was never going to happen. Most car companies aren't going to spend millions designing a bespoke chasis that has very limited market appeal. It makes sense from a business standpoint to make the car a practical daily driver so it appeals to the widest audience possible. I'm not super into the looks of it but it's in line with modern Acura's corporate front end design. All car companies follow a similar design philosophy for their entire line up so there's brand identity. They want you to know it's an Acura when you see it. As much as we'd like a coupe that's a driver's car, there's just not that much money it doing that anymore. Those segments are shrinking especially for fwd. Even if they made a coupe it probably wouldn't sell all that well because at a similar or cheaper price you could get a rwd coupe that's likely faster and better around corners.

      Also, other car companies have either continued with the coupe or reintroduced them such as Mazda Miata/Mx5, Nissan Z and Brz/Ae86 as examples.
      Also, they are halo cars that compliment the company and not the bread and butter of the company and hence not judged on their own as you suggest. Much like the argument for the low volume NSX or Corvette vs Suv's etc.
      A coupe is what people wanted and would sell as shown by the overwhelming negative comments and votes.

Like it or not most companies are run by bean counters. They're not likely to make a car that sells in very small numbers.

    My only skepticism is that its a little bigger than I thought but whatever. But some of yall are insufferable. Integra has always been based off the Civic. Acura, builds a replacement for the ILX(which is a 4 door Integra) this time using the Integra nameplate PLUS bringing back the manual and you all still complain. You haven't even driven this car yet. Yall really expected a Cayman from Acura during an Integra press release? An Integra????

New Integra was such a let down in design. Might be salvageable if they have a more squared off rear end so it does t look so bulbous.let’s hope they do a 2nd prototype

    This started as an ILX redesign. Acura knew no one is excited for an all new ILX so they decided to renamed it to Integra to create hype and sales. Plus the ILX never sold well. Remember the announcement came out of nowhere. Just my .02 cents. This car isn’t too bad as an ILX but it will never be an integra.

  • @carlm8821

    Great review, thumbs up! Like average fans of most 90’s/early 00’s Japanese sports cars and coupes, what they fail to realize is that the most popular and well known models actually came out during the 1970’s/80’s. Same is very true for the Integra, the first generation didn’t start with the 1993-01, nor was it even the 1990-93. The Integra first came on the scene in 1985(Japan)- ‘86 for U.S. and although the very first year was a three door, the five door was the following year(‘87) and for those that don’t know there was even a four door sedan, with a trunk that came later!
    But as for this new Integra, well first of all, it’s 2022 and not 2002 so in typical Honda fashion, using an existing platform like the Civics only makes sense for cost and practical reasons. Could they have done a three door body style, of course and honestly, if I was in charge of the Integra at Honda, I would have went back and used the 10th generation Civic coupe and just reconfigured a few details, gave it a three door body and did a retro looking Integra. Honda realizes that all those kids and young adults that drove and raced the 90’s Integras and 00’s rsx’s are all grown up with families so they gave them a car that suits the lifestyle of a grownup adult as well. Sure it’s not the late 1990’s integra reboot everyone was hoping for but I say if You want one that bad, just buy one, rebuild it and make it brand new again and there You have it….a brand new old Integra for 2022!

    @MrGunzngirlz 2 роки тому +18

    People are hasty and wrong about the new Integra, here's why:
    Right away, we have no specs, show some patients.
    Everyone seems to forget the Integra was ALWAYS just a better Civic.
    The 11th gen Civic, on which it's based, is already being lauded for its chassis, dynamics, and capabilities.
    And the new Integra will be a serious enhancement of those proven characteristics.
    Many wanted a Civic Si hatch, if you're one of them, congratulations you got your wish.
    If you also wanted an automatic Si, congratulations to you as well.
    What could make or break this car in base trim is the automatic transmission though. If they keep the DCT from the ILX then excellent, if they bring over the CVT from the Civic hatch, that will be a shame.
    Styling wise, it's trying to be all things to all people, which isn't a bad thing.
    People also forget the original Integra was a 5 door.
    But this brings that liftback style hatch that made the Integra famous as well as practical, it's got four doors for the fast four door crowd (me), and it's got coupe lines for the coupe crowd.
    If you think it's too tame in the looks department, just picture it as a Type-S.
    Civic hatch is shaping up to be a really great looking Type-R.
    TLX made an absolutely sensational looking Type-S.
    Expect a similar transformation for the Integra Type-S.
    Speaking of, we know nothing about it.
    They're gonna gun for the S3, Golf R, A35, and 2 series to an extent.
    That's a reason to expect SH-AWD paired to the 2.0T that's already in the Acura lineup.
    A lot of potential in that for sure.
    So at least hold off for that.
