It’s been 20 years aback an Integra was awash beneath the Acura banderole (20 years if you appetite to get abstruse and exclude the RSX). It’s aback for 2023, attractive like a reskinned current-generation Civic Si. The acceptable account is, it’ll abduct the Si’s accepted 6-speed manual, circling limited-slip diff, and turbo four as well. The bad account is, well, it’s aloof addition Civic Si.
To be fair, it looks absolutely a bit bigger than the Civic Si, which we begin a bit bulbous. The roofline looks sleeker, removing the awe-inspiring upkick in the rear window. Acura corrective the ancestor in Indy Yellow, an NSX Heritage Color, that is said to be a nod to the Phoenix Yellow of the admired 2000-01 Integra Type R.
Acura says the Integra was advised in Japan and told Autoblog that it will not allotment any panels with the Civic. They additionally said it’s agilely not retro, but what they accept the Integra would accept become over several ancestors if it had not apoplectic in 2006 with the final RSX.
And alike admitting the aboriginal Integras were accompanying to the Civic, they weren’t so similar. They had acutely altered bodywork, sportier engines, and altered abeyance tuning. Of course, those are still accessible with the new Integra, as Acura has not appear any specs and carefully speaking the car you see actuality is technically a prototype.
If you looked at the alive babble scrolling forth the ancillary of the acknowledge video, though, it wasn’t pretty. Most had appealing acrid words (or airsickness emojis) for Acura. We empathize, as this archetypal seems like a far cry from the sleek, aerial Integras of decades past. Honestly, it’s appealing abundant what we expected. There’s no way the Integra could absolutely go aback to its roots in today’s market. Perhaps Acura would accept been bigger off absolution sleeping nameplates lie, but we’ll assets final judgement for back the car comes out.
Acura says it will go into assembly in 2022 at Honda’s Marysville, Ohio bulb and advertise for about $30,000.
