i think those are fan renderings?

Most likely. The shape with the camera looks promising.

Am I the only one old enough to have a first gen?

Does anyone remember why 3rd gen integrals have different front ends in Japan vs NA? Seemed like an odd decision at the time.

Which one was the bug eye? I had that

Having never driven an Integra/RSX - Why didn't the RSX have the same following as the Integra? The OG's moved onto grander vehicles?

It was still pretty popular, but many still preferred the looks of the integra. Plus not many who could afford an integra could afford a new RSX so it felt like the integra was always the better bang for the buck.
Type-S was still badass back in the day.

If it looked anything like those renderings, that will be a hot tuner car for sure.

It's why my interest in cars is at an all time low.

You need an old (little to no tech) car with good power. Rages 400(wheel)hp is a good starting point.

Yeah they're totally different than new tech vehicles but tons of fun in their own way.

I had a GSR and RSX type s at the same time no less… and yes I moved on to better cars. I loved those cars but the brand did not evolve and in fact started to produce a bunch of lame cars that enthusiasts ran from.

I would never go back to Honda…

They removed double wishbones from the front. RSX is still nice but lost a lot of fans on that move.

I had a 94 Integra that I loved. The RSX just didn't do anything for me, we had one for a few years and it was pretty lack-lustre by comparison I always thought.

But the RSX-S had two Vtec stages! Two!!

Had a regular integra as an 18 year old, loved it. Friend had a type R, when that thing hit Vtec is was pretty crazy. Ah the memories

Don’t think there’s a 2 stage vtec. It’s just single low and high cam lobes. The k20 in the RSX added infinite cam timing and was called iVTEC. Oh the memories haha.

[killramos]

I thought the Cr-z had some additional vtec gimmick

A lot of people confused the multi runner intake as another vtec stage …

This. In the integra GSR it feels like two stages, one is the intake.

Ah yeah you guys are right. I just remember that type R you'd hit 5k or whatever and it was like a giant boot hit the car in the ass. The RSX-S was a bit smoother, had a few things working but wasnt an actual 2 stage vtec. Regardless, those cars were sweet no matter how many I beat in my ratty sr20 240sx in drag races

Ah to be young again. Checking in on ITR prices they are now a touch more affordable for me than they were then. Should have invested in one then!

What’s hilarious is that from my tuning days, I would tune both cams, then set the crossover point where you would get the most area under the curve. You lose the giant kick in the pants on crossover but you’re actually faster with more torque everywhere. People *hated* that and made me up the engagement rpm so they were slower but felt the vtec.

I leased a second Acura after the dirt cheap TLX deal from 2015 - I'm due for renewal 2023. Be right on schedule for an Integra and have loyalty too boot. My original plan was to ride this out until the Type-S released and get into one of those, but given their price & current rates/residual, it's not happening anytime soon.

I find myself more interested in what companies like Hyundai/Kia are doing than Honda/Acura these days. I feel like cars as a whole have got a lot more boring and it's harder to find the standouts.

A new integral might be neat but it will probably just be yet another car closely based on another car that already exists.

Hahaha that is hilarious. Don't want to lose that legendary kick!

Honestly, i hate to say it, but toyota is the new honda. GR86, IS500, Supra... apparently a GR corolla or something coming soon. Not any of these cars are ones i'd buy at the moment, but id certainly be going into a toyota / lexus dealership before honda / acura
