They couldn't give the new Integra a little more performance than 200hp lol
Yea, seems to be the exact same tune as the Civic SI.
It get's the dynamic dampers that were lost in the 11th gen SI. It's a bit longer than the SI as well. No official weight but I would think it's heavier than the SI thus slower as well.
^ For the new promo video... like... shouldn't they have some scenes from F1... I had no idea who Pierre Gasly is... and I was just like "Who's this scrub driving around in the new Integra?" hahahahaha
200hp is awful for this car, it's going to be slower than the CSX Type-S was 15 fucking years ago. What is the literal point of this release?
Or is this press release only talking about the base model? Not the Type-S?

Even with Type S it probably be like 220-230hp? Which doesn't mean anything if they use the 1.5 motor. Owners with the civic si are already pushing that in the aftermarket scene.
Is Japan getting this too? I find that if it's not offered in Japan and it's NA only, like the 9th gen Si, it's probably gonna be pretty shit. For instance, Japan never got a 9th gen civic that looks like ours. They only got the European FK2 Type R (also a 9th gen), limited to 750 units.
Japan got the 10th gen civic and the FK8, hence it being good.

For what we do know, the Civic Hatchback, which is much smaller than the new Integra, weighs just over 3,100 pounds in top-trim Sport Touring form. With almost 7 inches worth of additional body length over the Hatchback Sport Touring, and no mention of dramatic weight-saving features, there's just one conclusion you can draw: The new Integra will weigh more than 3,100 pounds.
How much more than that is the open question, given the X factor of the weight of additional content (and, in all likelihood, additional sound deadening material for a reduction in cabin noise). We figure it'll be at least 150 pounds worth of penalty for choosing the Integra.

Is this worse than Ford using the Mustang name as an EV?
Names these days are pretty interchangeable. The way I see it, the civic is a good car. This will sell to people who want a slightly more luxurious Civic. It'll be 35-40k Cad so a bit more than Civic but less than TLX so it'll make sense.

+1. I think maybe our nostalgia is getting in our way - this is still the base model of the Integra which was always just a nicer Civic and the current Civic is a great car so this should be pretty nice for an entry level car.
I would expect that the Type-S will be the one that we are more judgemental about. It should be as good or better than a GTI.
Nostalgic side note: My uncle owned a 1G Integra and was giving young tween me a ride one day when I asked him why, when the tach doesn't redline till 7k, that he doesn't always run it up to 7k. He promptly showed me what a Honda sounds like at 7k - it's one of the fondest memories I have when I think about how I got into cars.

Powering the Integra will be a 1.5L turbocharged four-cylinder that produces 200 hp and 192 lb-ft of torque with max torque available from 1,800 through 5,000 rpm. Acura has fitted a new exhaust system it says "adds an emotional sound," so expect this to be a touch louder than other Honda and Acura models.
Bruh, its the same engine as the CR-V and Civic lol.
On paper, this seems like a hard sell next to a Civic SI or GTI. I'll reserve further judgment until reviews come out, but it feels like a missed opportunity not to offer the 6MT at a lower trim level.
