Just like the NSX, right?

Let me just go walk into a dealer and buy one.

Man it would be awkward if they were actually sold out…

easy to sell out the NSX when you only make 200 a year...

[Shlade]

Maybe i'm angry about this thing like I was when the Dodge Charger came out. Then ended up getting one...

I just think the name pisses me off. But it is a nice looking car.

[ExtraSlow]

Honda Civic Hatch XL actually sounds like something I'd love.

[ThePenIsMightier]

It comes with an NFT if you order it early enough???!

Now I know this is SRS bidness!

What is hondas obsession with the ~200hp mark. Here's our new Integra, despite hundreds of learnings and changes in engines over the last 2 decades, it is slower than the outgoing integra (RSX-S). Enjoy!

Well to be fair this is the regular model & the equivalent base RSX was just the 160hp engine.

I'm sure the new Type-S will get some version of the 2.0L K20C from the Accord/TLX/Type-R.

The NFT/Metaverse shit is hilarious though.

Because it's a 1.5L turbo and probably as much as they are willing to risk on warranty of a high volume model. Since it's paired with a CVT, it's really at the limit of what Hondata think the CVT can handle.

No 2 door option?!

Motor trend compares known specs to the civic Si.

Looks like Integra will be heavier and therefore slower than the Civic si because it uses the same power plant. New gen Civic has 0-60 time of 7+ seconds (which is even slower than the last gen Civic si). This doesn’t bode well for the Integra. Minivans have better acceleration than this.

I agree that the 200hp formula doesn’t work anymore because the cars keep getting heavier. It was OK when Civics were 2000lbs but now that they are over 3000lbs it’s just not enough.

There has never been a 2000lb, 200hp civic. Not even the first type r. Pickup trucks, station wagons, and SUVs have better acceleration than this too, it's kind of a moot point. Was the same with previous civics and integras as well. not really relevant.

The integra/civic have always been slow. I'm not sure why anyone would expect anything different out of this new one.

[Disoblige]

Doesn't matter if it is slow. Civics just need to look like they might be fast. #1 tuning shop (at least in the NE) is Canadian Tire.

My main point is that power to weight keeps getting worse so they are getting even slower.

Given the hype (and the price premium over the Civic), I certainly would expect more. Especially since the Civic Type R exists.

[bjstare]

Ya I get what you’re saying. Speed has never been a differentiator between Honda and Acura. Acura has always been just as slow as the Honda sister car, just nicer finishings and features (in some cases… in some cases, not even that e.g., the 1.6el). This is pretty on-brand, imo.

[ExtraSlow]

1.6EL was a sweet car. I had one of those.

[A2VR6]

With the electrification of everything nowadays acceleration is irrelevant. My guess is Honda/Acura decided to focus on "fun to drive on the street" above all. Seems like they did achieve this by the reviews on the Si, yes it's pretty underwhelming from the 0-60 or 1/4 perspective but it drives fantastic.

People around here are in denial about this, fyi.
