Acura luxury. Parking sensors which the CTR does not have, ELS 3D Sound system over a Bose sound system, little door handle and ambient lights, premium pleather and microswade upholstery, likely better paint quality and in my opinion the better set of colors to choose from, different styling...
I paid MSRP for my 6MT LCM/Red Integra back in July. At the beginning I even had my pick of the pre-order colors. However I do wish I had access to a red with black interior or a blue with black interior.
Burns Honda in NJ gave me that offer when trying for a Type R, but they still wanted $10K over for the CTR even with a great trade, I told them no as my max is 10% for markups. After that I just can’t live with myself.
I offered them 10% over (About $5K) and it came with a carbon fiber wing, a shift knob upgrade, mats, wheel locks, GPS tracker, window etching, etc, about $5K of these extras mostly justified, nothing horrible, and the MSRP was $44.4K, and… they turned me down lol. They just want that $10K over...
I expect $48K MSRP for the ITS. It’s about $10K for the better engine and all the race car parts. And the 2023 LCM/Red Interga A-Spec Tech 6MT is about $37K. And $48K is what I expect a carbon fiber wing and a mild markup to run on a new CTR. And at those prices I’d much rather have a CTR or ITS...
MSRP for me or I wait for MSRP. Period. Also, if they updated the TLX with a faster transmission, and that infotainment system that’s in the new 2023 Honda Accord, I would buy that,
My local Acura dealer does MSRP on all cars, including my current Integra bought last summer, and including the upcoming Integra Type S. My local Honda Dealer is doing at least $3K Markups on Si’s and about $10K markups on CTRs. Guess which dealer I’m going to for my 300+ HP upgrade car?
I’m interested in two things, what are people doing for front license plate mounts and can the new Honda CTR forged rims fit the new Integra A-Spec Tech 6MT?
What’s an ITS? Also, I’m number 3 in line for a GR Corolla unknown trim at a very MSRP friendly dealer (but not guaranteed). I’m about to cancel it really. It’s just a Corolla inside. Acura spoiled me for interiors. And have you seen the new interior for the 2023 Accord? Huge ass touchscreen...
Is anyone here temped by the new Civic Type R? I have to admit, I would want the 2023 Type R over my 2023 Integra A-Spec Tech 6MT, the speed and torque increase is too much to ignore, however I can’t say the same yet when considering the upcoming Integra Type S. Even if the Type S is only 275HP...
I keep thinking I want to get the carbon fiber spoiler, cooler looking better lighter rims, and high end but reasonable wearing summer tires. Then again, I’m just going to trade for an Integra Type S, and that will be the one I’ll want to upgrade. So I’m stalled upgrade wise.
I’m still just under 3000 miles at the three month mark because of the joy of working at home. I just don’t drive as much. I have noticed I am getting better at driving the car, becoming one with the cars limits. And my happiness with the car has risen as a direct result. I picked a higher seat...
