As for the Integra getting AWD, it won't (and shouldn't) happen; speaking from a business perspective. Acura/Honda already made that mistake with the last generation of the TL. The TL got the biggest engine and SH-AWD, which hurt the sales of the RL.
@@dereksim1696 gaskets and still the same old motor just get an RS3 call it a day. You want two door do what I did and get a TT RS mk3 I love her everyday and no I don’t daily. I daily an Outback badged up with integrated engineering & Urotuning stickers for more HP on the station wagon. Makes me appreciate my TT like a lambo an is as fast one too stage 2 minus the intercooler!
Finally the Integra getting some love. As an Acura salesperson I've heard so much whining about the Integra even though its an awesome car, and this Type S just goes to another level!
@@iansamaroo9187 I have this exact car and it’s my daily with 58K miles now super mint too as the first owner was 79 years old when he traded it it with 41k miles.. This is the Type-S that really made Acura back in the day! I looked for a clean one for at least 5 years none of them got me excited as they were always so beat on finally found one in 2020 that never even had VTEC hit! 😳🤗 This new Type-S has finally hit the right note for me but I would still like to see nicer interior especially the seats!
@@TheBovinated Yes I know lol, afaik they didn't even launch the Integra in Japan. So currently it's branding is just Acura for the new Integra and Integra Type-S. It would be cool if they made a Honda Integra Type-R again though for the namesake.
This car would look so sick in a coupe. The front end and especially the rear end just look like they were made to be put on a coupe. Also I love the color on this one.
This puts Acura back on the map! 100% it's about time they gave us something special after all these years, looking that good stock ! I gotta have one! That color has never looked so good on any of the previous type s models !😮Yikes!!
That would be a big no no. It’s a lightweight fwd car with excellent driving dynamics making it sh-awd will make it heavy and change the driving dynamics. If you want fwd based awd theres rs3 and tlx type s. CTR/ITS is special as is.
That’s a sweet whip. I had a 1996 GSR in 1997 when I was a sophomore in college and I loved that ride. I had intake/exhaust done on it and I had it lowered a little bit. Nothing crazy but it was nice. 4 doors hunter green. Great car. I never had a problem with it. I put gas and oil changes and that was it.
@@carcaveofficial The cambered out wheels weren’t really a big thing yet in 1997 but it was all starting. When Fast and Furious came out the whole import scene went nuts.
@@carcaveofficial I’m 45 years old now so I’m not into that anymore. Don’t get me wrong I still like checking them out and all the new tech in them but I don’t have any of these types of cars. I had a 911 about 8-9 years ago and that’s the closest I’ve been. I’m actually thinking about getting a 993(1995-1996) Porsche 911 twin turbo because the 993 is the last air cooled 911 but the prices have become outrageous. I have a E63 ,2019, and that’s good enough for me. I would like to get a original MB Hammer but they are Uber expensive and ridiculously difficult to find. I would also like to get a R33 or R34 Nissan Skyline right side drive but It’s not a priority or anything like that. If I find one for a great deal then that’s a different story.
I had a ‘95 GSR 4-door white. My dad bought it in ‘96 and it got passed down to me when I got my license. It was an amazing car and really fun to learn to drive in. Unfortunately it got stolen out of my driveway a few years after it was passed down to me. I reported it stolen and it was found about a month later with everything of value stripped from it. I have a WRX now, but will always love that GSR. Integras have always had a special place in my heart.
That’s not a Japanese car lol. Acura is American. But a lot of this cars components are shared with a Japanese car though. And I happen to have that Japanese car right now. 🫣
How do you idiots still not know that acura is American and honda is Japanese. Doesn't matter if you think they are the same company. They are made in 2 completely different countries. You guys try to sound fancy but fail at it. It's much more different than toyota/lexus which are made in the same country.
The standard Acura has the sameish subdued front bumper style (intake vents) as the Civic type R. But then this car actually looks how I imagined the civic Type R looking. Basically the whole Acura gives off those "what the civic should've been" vibes.
@@carcaveofficial the body form doesn't shared the styling. I don't like spoiler but since it's semi track oriented it should have one. I do consider getting it since it does looks good. Most importantly it's a stick shift.
@@BlueRice It's not track oriented, the Type R is... and even that is debatable in the past because of cooling and brakes. The Type S is for street duty B-)
@@SoulEraser000 thats why i said its semi. DC5 that was a type S was tested and driving on the track. it perform really good. north america has type s dc5 while other part of the world has type R. the biggest difference was LSD and seat. the type S today, compare to civic type R share a lot of the same tech's. the chassis and refinement is the difference. no one broke it down in detail to see how why it will perform different until it comes out
Type R is already on sale for $60K because of insane dealer markup. Imagine a slightly higher version in the Integra type R. These dealer markups are terrible!
Manual transmissions give you the ability to have more control over the car and I must say it is way more fun drive then boring automatic transmissions. 🤔
@@BStudd1182 acceleration on any car in this category is a slug. We live in a world with EVs now. You want 0-60, buy a Tesla,,,,, you want a car with insane interior, reliability, MPG, space, clutch, can be thrown into a corner as hard as you want, buy an SI.
