Giving the anticipated release dates, the new Integra is almost certainly going to be based off the 11th gen (2022) Civic. As good as the 10th gen Civic is (where the 11th gen is based off on), the Civic is not a small car. Even the discontinued coupe is not small.
IMO, one of the best things with the 3rd gen Integra is its compact size, and we all know that cars are no longer that small. Still, I'd be a little disappointed if the new (5th gen?) Integra is as large as the 10th gen Civic coupe.
If the base car came with a stick shift + K20C2, I would actually say that is a very nice combo! I like the F20C2 a lot better than the turbo L15 -- it has far more of that old school Honda feel, and it seems to be the more reliable engine as well.
I wonder if it'll have any sort of electrification added to the car. Personally, I expect it, and I think it would be best if it can come in the form of a rear electric motor powering the rear wheels. That would really make it interesting and practical.
