Integra Type-S Predictions - PLACE YOUR BETS!!!

[BKK Jack]

I know it doesn't travel well through the innerwebzies, but my post was dripping with sarcasm. This is the car I want. If the Type S does turn out to be that much better, I can always trade up later. For right now, I just need to get out of the Tacoma. For a truck it's pretty good; I'm just not a truck guy.

totally hear you. I’ve been driving an MDX for 9 years. It’s a fine SUV and doesn’t feel like a truck, but I’ve never been a truck guy or SUV guy. So I’m thrilled to be getting back into a smaller car as soon as possible. I’d rather not wait another 1-2 years for a type S.

All I would like to see is CTR levels of zoot and their SH-AWD, and of course, a 6MT. If it's announced and they start taking reservations before I get an A Spec, I'll move my deposit to the Type S. I can wait. I'd prefer not to wait, but I can...I think.

I too was hoping for SH-AWD in the Type S, but Jonathan Rivers (project leader with Acura) has said the SH-AWD system won't come to the Integra--I believe this was on the AMA he participated in on IntegraTalk. If true, it'd be a shame. It has me expecting the Type S to come in a traditional automatic (rather than the CVT), no 6MT, with performance somewhere between the 2.0T Accord and CTR.... aka a CTR with a little more luxury (like a sunroof) for someone who doesn't want to row their own gears.

If the type S only comes in auto then I'll probably just wait for am updated integra with whatever new features they decide to give us and then give it my own type S treatment

I absolutely love this thread. Here we are 8 months from the last post and what do we know?

- 320hp and a 6MT.

Some of you were close to reality.

We will know more in a week or so. I am hoping the original yellow will be available. I am not a fan of the tiger eye. I suspect the price will be $49k before the ridiculous markups. I am also hoping for the SH-AWD but that is very unlikely.

I think its been known for a while now Type S is Type R with more features like parking sensors, heated seats, leather and more sound deadening.

If there’s ADM’s no one should buy them. That’s the only way to stop this. But in keeping with the Jones’s…. Idiots will buy.

I agree. I won't buy if there is any kind of add on.

Lots of Acura dealers without adm.

I have my name on 3 lists nearby. None of them said if there would be ADM which makes me think there is. I’ll have to start calling around more I suppose , but I’d prefer to just buy one nearby.

Might be easier to call the 3 that have you on their list and ask them to commit to MSRP.

That’s what I’m hoping for.

Good to know. I hope it stays that way.

The first several Acura dealers I called in my area regarding the Type S are asking $5-15K over MSRP. All stating the reason behind the ADM was due to the asking prices for the Civic Type R and overall limited availability.

Luckily, I found an MSRP dealer less than 2 hours from me and they have confirmed MSRP for the Type S. I reserved their first allocation.

I’m predicting a reveal between this Friday & next Friday.

Seriously though, Acura. C’mon wit it. My curiosities & anticipations are starting to affect my daily life.

odd Acura is launching at some race when the New York Autoshow is this weekend.
