Highly doubt it would be the CTR engine that’s going in the next gen CTR. I still feel it’ll be the TLX engine but rated higher and tuned differently with a larger turbo and some internal stuff to have at least 285-290 HP. Also still feel 10AT is the only option for transmission. It will be a beefed up 10 AT for Type S given how Acura wants all Type S to have a better transmission set up
as most reviewers have said and as an owner I concur, the only thing stopping the civic from being a perfect car is the cvt
Agreed. My initial want was a sportier version of the civic hatch. Everything past that is all sprinkles on top.
and that’s why kid has the civic lol
Personally I wanted something a bit quicker than an Si. I was initially disappointed that the new one only had 200hp. I was hoping that the Integra could find a gap between that and the type R. Something like 6.0-6.5 second 0-60 would be perfect imo. I'm not sure if they'll increase the power over the Si considering the ILX and the 9th gen had the same power
I personally like honda/Acura products for the amazing handling they have around corners. I’m not to huge on 0-60 numbers but I can tell you autocross with a civic and other cars are way to fun to pass up and try.
I agree the Civics are great at handling. But with the extended length, NVH and features I feel like this will likely lose the lightness that an Si has. Honda did a good job with power and handling with the type r and they can for sure apply some of that engineering here and achieve an excellent balance.
I doubt the extra 1-2" of length will effect things as much as the added weight from NVH like you mentioned. I think they could offset some of this and make the car more stable if they added a couple of inches of width to widen it's stance and give more corner stability and lower the ride height a touch, but I doubt they'll tweak the base platform like that unless they use the CTR modified platform which will have added width to accommodate the fender flares and a lowered ride height.
Honda and Acura have pulled out of a lot of Auto Shows and it makes sense. It’s honestly expensive to be at auto shows. They weren’t even at the LA Auto Show, not at Chicago Auto Show either, NY might get cancelled again. It’s tough to say for sure but auto shows are a dying breed
YES!! Thanks, Random... you found it. From TFL Car - This Honda Civic Hatchback Costs More Than The FASTER Si — Is It Worth The Extra Cash?
It was on the Facebook 2022+ Acura Integra Owners and Ethusiast Group page posting. A couple of Honda Mfg guys from Marysville were briefed on the new Integra being produced at their site. Employees are being asked to bring in their old Integras for a commercial shooting in late March/Early April. He goes on to say the TypeS is supposed to be revealed in that video as well.
I’m apart of that group. Lot of cool people to talk to. Robb as well is.
