Won't this just be a rebadged Civic Type R? Not that that would necessarily be a bad thing. So it shouldn't be surprising that it will have a manual.

If it resembles the ILX i'd be like blah. I'm just getting older and new cars are for most part ugly. Hard to believe they are spending money on petrol based cars development when States are now mandating the death of them forcing us to purchase a electronic appliance.

I imagine the regular model Integra will be based on the Si? Can't see them using the regular Civic engine in this. Maybe they will do a Type-S based on the upcoming CTR. I'm assuming there will be an auto model maybe featuring the current 10-Speed Automatic.

Eh, the styling on the camo’d car looks bulbousy and gives me CLA vibes which I never was a fan of design-wise. Was hoping they’d go with a reimagined DC2 that would eventually evolve into a modern interpretation of a DC5. Sounds like it’s sporting a K20, so a type-r motor.

They are married to the dimensions of the Civic Hatch so there's only so much they can do. CLA is a sedan with the MB droopy rear end so I don't see a big similarity as this is more of a coupe style hatchback.

It's likely the basic models come with the 1.5T engine with CVT and or 6 speed manual and Type S models get the Accord 2.0T with 10 speed auto and or 6 speed manual.

Big question is does a 2-Door Coupé follow later….

Nope. Coupes are dead.

On the whole they are.

They are not nearly as ubiquitous as they used to be. You're being pedantic for the sake of trying to start a lame ass argument on the internet.

Fact according to Honda. They killed it two years ago.

Coupes are nearly as dead as manuals these days.

there is no civic coupe anymore, so i doubt the integra gets one.

Pretty underwhelming design, just looks like a slightly rebodied new Civic.

Oh well, any new ICE car, especially one with a stick, should be appreciated.

Is this just going to replace the ILX?

[Burrcold]

Big surprise, it's an Acura version of the Si. Looks pretty nice though.

New Acura Integra Prototype Makes Global Debut; Previews a Premium Sport Compact for a New Generation

Originally Posted by Acura Newsroom

Inspired by past Integras, including the original that helped launch the Acura brand in 1986, the 2023 Integra will become the new gateway performance model in the Acura lineup, a premium sport compact with an evocative five-door design and fun-to-drive spirit. The first-ever factory-turbocharged Integra will excite a new generation of enthusiast drivers with an available six-speed manual transmission, limited slip differential and high-output 1.5-liter engine, with VTEC® of course.

“The Integra is one of the most iconic models in Acura's history,” said Jon Ikeda, Vice President and Acura Brand Officer. “This new Integra, will continue to deliver on the original's unique aspirational yet attainable market position, with emotional performance and style, combined with the versatility and utility sought after by today's buyers.”

Designed in Japan, the new Integra's bold exterior styling features a dramatically sloping roofline and liftback tailgate, giving it a distinct coupe-like road presence. A modern interpretation of the Integra line, the fifth-generation model displays trademark cues such as the embossed Integra name under the driver's side headlight and passenger's side taillight.

First seen on the Type S Concept, Acura's new frameless Diamond Pentagon grille gives the Integra front a purposeful and sporty character. Acura's unique lighting signature is updated with the “Chicane” LED daytime running lights now positioned above the Integra's JewelEye® LED headlights, yielding an even more dramatic appearance.

Muscular rear wheel arches and aggressive rear fascia with dual-exhaust finishers emphasize Integra's wide track. Inspired by previous Integra models, the distinctive rear styling features wide, single-piece taillights with matching “Chicane” light signature. Behind the Integra Prototype's matte-finish 19-inch split-five spoke wheels are oversized Brembo™ high-performance brakes with color-keyed Indy Yellow calipers, providing incredible stopping power and an aggressive look.

The Integra Prototype's striking Indy Yellow Pearl paint pays homage to Phoenix Yellow, offered on the iconic 2000-2001 Integra Type R. High-gloss Berlina Black accents have been applied to the Integra's roof, decklid spoiler, mirror caps, rear diffuser and front grille. A lower-sill graphic boldly displays the Integra name across the side of the vehicle.

The launch of the 2023 Acura Integra will mark the first time for Integra to be built in America, when it begins mass production next year at the Marysville Auto Plant in Ohio. Set to be built on the same production line with the Acura TLX, Integra will join all new Acura models sold in the U.S. in being built in Ohio.

More details on the 2023 Acura Integra will be released closer to its market introduction in the first half of next year.

It looks like a knockoff CLA

I thought about it some more and you know what, styling aside, this is a compelling car. $30k for the Integra vs. $37k for ugly 2 series sedan or the stylish but boring-to-drive CLA250.
