IMO, even the FK7 is too big for an Integra (and it is also too big for a Civic, but I digress...). If that camouflaged monstrosity is really an Integra test mule, I am gonna be so sad...  |
CTR is 3100lbs according to Honda and SH-AWD adds 210lbs on the TLX so that's 3300lbs there. Add in some sound deadening and luxury features and we're at 3400lbs. An Audi S3 is 3440lbs and an AMG CLA35 is 3500lbs so that sounds about right.
This probably means though that Acura needs to use the CTR 2.0T instead of the TLX 2.0T to be competitive with the S3/CLA35 or it's going to be another sad trombone like the TLX Type-S.
Size wise I'm not sure shrinking it down from a CTR (180in) down to something more "Integra-like" would even save that much weight - maybe you save 100lbs but you end up making it too small to generate enough sales.
