I like the way it looks. The seats look like they a plucked from the TLX S which is fine and to be expected. Like may others have said, having 4 seats sucks but that’s just something the CTR would have so why not the ITS. Overall nicely packaged Integra. All that’s left is the Pricing which I still feel is going to be high 40’s.

Based on all the Type S models that come out for this generation, I would choose the TLX S still.
The seats definitely are different than those in the TLX.

My biggest gripe with the TLX (all models) is that there are usability compromises made in the design. The back seat is nearly 3” smaller than the Integra. The trunk opening is fairly narrow height-wise, which means you may not be able to fit some things in the trunk that you could with the lift back of the Integra.

The TLX is definitely a more luxury sports car, but there are definitely comprises made with that car that I think the Integra addresses (if you can deal with a bit less luxury).

different car for different people. TLX Type S doesn't really have any driving engagement. Snoozefest at best while Type R chassis is the greatest fwd chassis made so far.

I do know that the chassis for the new Civic is great, I’ve driven the new Civic, I have the HR-V that rides on that same chassis. It’s a great chassis. I know the ITS will handle great.

Are those front corner bumper intakes fully functional? or just cheese graters?
video and pictures are kind of dark to make out what they are

is there a individual drive mode? I'm not seeing it. Exhaust tied to stiff steering and suspension would be a deal breaker for me.

guess the exhaust is tied to the engine. Wish the japanese learned from the german have have the exhaust button
In your post you said if the exhaust was tied to stiff steering and suspension it would be a deal breaker.

You can set the steering and suspension to comfort, and the engine (and exhaust) to sport, which is exactly what you wanted.

Do you just want to drive around with everything in comfort mode? If so, just buy an axle-back muffler delete, and leave the car in comfort mode.

I’m hoping there are bolts on a flange that can be removed, rather than needing to cut it off.

Not sure how the FL5 is set up, I imagine the ITS will be nearly identical as far as the layout is concerned, despite Acura’s claims of it being an “entirely new exhaust”
