So true. And I bought that gen 1 for $11,000 exactly brand new. Check out the attached image to see how much that is in today's dollars, and it is about the price of a standard Integra A Spec today, yet so much more car now! Those of us that often say how expensive cars have become, well not really.
Dang. 11k for a new car, even back then seems rather cheap, but the brand hadn't really been established yet, so I reckon that's why. For contrast a 96 GSR was around 22k. Huge jump in less than 10yrs.

2025 Integra Type S
Man where to begin...
I've owned every Generation of Integra.
88 RS, 91 GS, 95 GSR, 2003 RSX Type S
I used to be really active on the Team Integra forums in Massachusetts back in the day, which seems like a pretty dead forum these days, particularly for this Gen 5 platform.

It's been over 20 years since I was driving the Integra in the top picture, and so much in my life has changed.
Some things however never change.
Thanks Acura for bringing back the Integra, and particularly for making the Type S.
Back then, adding a turbo to one of these was considered an extreme modification.
Now it comes that way straight from the factory.
I've felt out of place in every car I've driven since my RSX Type S, now I'm back home to where it all started.
Cheers to old friends from new years.
It's good to be back.

My fifth Integra too, almost identical years and models right down to our new apex blue type S' These cars were a blast to drive with 200+ HP, now with 300+ they are incredible! Enjoy!
