Well I was wrong on the 10 Speed auto . Other then that glad to see Acura will offer it with a 6 Speed and more then 300 HP.

The Integra Type S will use the same turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-4 as the Civic Type R, with a 6-speed manual as the only transmission and a standard limited-slip differential. Acura says the Type S will have “at least 300 horsepower,”

Raiti says there's no heat vent on the hood, but you can clearly see one in some of those pics.

Pretty bummed honestly. I was really hoping for some type of auto trans. It sounds like a great car though for those that are getting one! Looks really good in the camo wrap so i can't wait for photoshop magicians to start dropping in Apex Blue and Liquid Metallic on the body.

Thanks for adding those here ^

I'm partially excited, partially "whelmed." I was hoping for something a little more dramatic looking, and we'll have to wait to see how it looks without its camo, but so far it seems so visually similar to the our regular Integras.

Again, once the camo comes off I'm sure its sporty/aggressive styling will come through more. But come on... no wing?! I assume there will be an official optional larger wing, but still! I can't believe they wouldn't include that in these first official pics.

For almost 50k I'm on the fence. I'm #1 on the list at a few dealers so surely I should have no trouble sourcing one, but I'm still not sure about markups, etc. Curious to know how the economy and car market looks these next few months, because that will probably dictate a lot.

Was hoping for an auto… maybe down the line

I personally think its a miss not offering an auto (i know many would disagree) but the Integra (both base and ITS) work as the perfect counterparts to the civic Si and CTR being manual only. Not even mentioning that pretty much every other mass market, premium, and luxury maker offers automatic options (in some cases being the only option) for their higher performance models. It's a niche car being made unnecessarily more niche by restricting sales to only those that want a manual. Honda/Acura can't see fit to offer coupes anymore because of low sales numbers, but willingly kneecap sales of their more affordable 4-door performance models by not offering the option the majority of potential buyers would get.

I said for years the same thing about the Si and CTR not being offered with an auto option, honda could sell so many more of them and make them more viable from a sales perspective. Then the integra came along... perfect opportunity to offer that auto option along with a healthy upcharge.

That said, even in camo, it looks great, great stance, will be a blast to drive and will be great as a more comfortable road focused version of the CTR. But in a world where manuals see take rates in the single digit % of sales I just don't think it's really optimized for the sales that it could've made.
