Integra coming back

For a brand trying to find its way back, it seems like another misstep, unfortunately.

Interior pics leaked. It looks SO similar to a civic interior.... I bet if you looked hard enough through the interior you'd spot a Honda badge that they forgot to swap out for an Acura badge.

That's really disappointing, albeit not a bit surprising.

Toyota did the same with the Zupra and people seem to be fine with it
But it did copy a BMW and not a Civic
Come on Acura , if you're going to copy someone's homework , at least look at the smart kids and not the crack head next to you

You must have missed the part where people were (and many still are) hating on the new supra... calling it not a real supra.

It is very disappointing to see the Integra badge on this car. I understand that from the very beginning the Integra was always using Civic underpinnings but both Integra generations (and RSX) had their own individual interior and exterior panels that shared no parts with the Civic and made them look like completely different cars. This car looks like a Civic hatch inside and out. The one thing they did to the dash to individualize it is replace the honeycomb across and replace it with plastic but they added a traditional rectangular vent on the passenger side that sticks out as not matching the drivers side vents making it look worse. Maybe sales will prove otherwise but I think Honda would have been better off not making this car.

That interior actually looks pretty nice. So if it’s similar to the Civic interior, the Civic looks that upscale? This might sound weird but I’ve never been in a current gen Civic

Not to mention they added piano black plastic all over the center console area, where the Civic Si has a nice matte-ish finish.

The new Civic is actually pretty nice for what it is. I recently drove a new Civic Si and it was a nice overall interior, attractive design, functional. And that 6spd manual was one of the smoothest I've driven, almost felt like an automatic.

What a joke.

2023 Acura Integra Trim Levels Leaked, CVT Is Standard

Yikes... It's like they're going backwards. Even the ILX had a DCT.

heavyD^2 · 03-06-2022, 08:59 PM

Nothing says sporty like a CVT.

Germanauto · 03-07-2022, 03:15 AM

The Civic's interior looks upscale for its segment, yet somehow the ILX...ahem..."Integra" interior manages to look wholly forgettable.

I think the upcoming Civic Type R is going to be a far more compelling vehicle. And unlike the current model, it will actually be a really good looking ride.

May I remind everyone the current 3-series has no option for a manual transmission in the US.

There's quite the difference between a G20 3 Series with the fantastic ZF transmission (yes still a torque converter), and a CVT...any CVT.

Right. Neither are a manual transmission.

If you like the current Acura front end I guess this isn't too bad but the coupe rear end doesn't quite work for me. I suppose if you are a Honda person and want a premium version of the Civic Si this could be up your alley. I now understand why Honda made the Si a pretty bare bones model in the USA (it doesn't get the nice LCD instrument cluster, fog lights, parking sensors, dual zone climate control, etc compared to Canadian version) as to keep some separation between the cars.

I see they went with the Kia Stinger interior.
