So prototype testing usually consist of non metallic colors. So the White and black are very common colors to see testing. I wouldn’t doubt though it’s possible other colors have been built but just haven’t been spotted by many motorists because some don’t care for spy shots like we do.

The Brembo brakes that we see on the Prototype are more then likely reserve for the Type S only. Based on the fact that all spy shots have been A-Spec models they seem to have the same brakes from the Si

How do we know all we have seen are A-Spec models/ they were semi-blurred photos from like 50+ft away of a usually moving car.

Spoiler, Rims match the ones on the prototype which is the A-Spec

Got some good news today. Went to the only local Acura dealer and told them I was interest in the Integra. I talked to them about dealer mark up like the Honda dealer across the street did with the Si and how most places adding thousands to cars concerned me with a car that will have decent demand and low inventory at 1 local dealer. I’m not going to pay mark up. And they have the ability to add a ton and people will pay it.

Sales manager said their owners policy is to not add markup and they’ve only done it recently on Type S models. Everything else is sticker these days. Got it in writing that they’d sell me one at sticker.

Awesome that you got it in writing. Hopefully the full announcement is everything you want it to be!

Get all that you said emailed to you in writing and print it out.

Yes, but they could toss on any rims. The S650 Mustang mule is using 2020 Bullitt and 2015 Performance package wheels still. The A-Spec wheels could also just be an option on the base car.

I understand the Mustang miles use interchangeable parts from current Gen but for Acura/Honda when they do these testings they use what’s going on the vehicle for production. Also Package wise they don’t do that an A-Spec package for a base trim level. A-Spec is just a Trim separate

They covered it the next day the guy who originally took it. Someone who works for Acura messed up by not covering it. Also that Interior is finalized but most materials aren’t finished.
If this is the final look (sans material changes) I think its alright. Lots of plastic on the dash that hopefully gets changed. Uncovered piano black means you are probably right about it staying that way unfortunately. Surprised they aren't going for the steering wheel from the TLX.

Yeah I’m fine with this interior as well. The plastic top dash is probably soft touch moulding. Steering wheel wise I understand why they did it this way compared to TLX. It might have to do with the controls of the digital dash

Good news it has two usb’s in the rear
Interested to hear more about those who sat in this thing already about rear headroom and rearward visibility. I know for the civic they worked hard to minimize any blind spots so maybe this will also have surprisingly good visibility even with the liftback shape.
