Sad to see all the modern cars being such porkers...
To be fair though, the 1G TSX tipped the scales at around 3200lbs and I'd say there's good odds that the new Integra is similar in size so adding SH-AWD, more luxuries, 70-100hp etc and gaining 200lbs isn't bad. I bet the base trim with the 1.5T/FWD actually weighs in under 3200lbs and will be a much better car than the 1G TSX. Of course what the enthusiasts want is a new Integra and not a new TSX but I don't think that car is going to sell enough.

FWIW, the RSX tipped the scales at around 2800-2900lbs, the most recent Civic coupe was around the same and if Acura goes down to that size they would probably be around 3200lbs with SH-AWD.
