Yeah. It's like they had to write Integra on it to make it seem interesting.
Hopefully it's fun to drive and doesn't have issues like the other 1.5 turbo Honda mills.
the beauty of the original DC-chassis cars notwithstanding, compared to the recent concept (which was gorgeous) this looks like such a dull, bloated letdown. let's hope the performance is at least top shelf.
I don't know. Like the new Civic, it could be a lot worse.
I think we've had quite enough of 'distinctive' in the last decade.
The world needs more 5 door liftbacks, so I'm not complaining. I will, however, be critical, the profile behind the B pillar is incredibly disjointed.

The Integra lost a lot of distinctiveness when they renamed it the TLA, or RSX, or whatever. Going back to the Integra name was something they should have done about 15-16 years ago.
What problems are people seeing with the 1.5 mill? The only things I am aware of are a near 100% failure rate of the A/C compressor on 2017 models (seems to only be 2017, so far) and they break important parts of the turbo in any frontal collision hard enough to bend the upper core support, which is most of them. I'm speaking here of people who just drive their Civics or CR-Vs or Accords as commutohaulers, not people who go "Ooh, turbo, how much can I crank up the boost?"
Nope. No more an Integra than an Eclipse or a Mustang E is what their name suggests.
In reply to Streetwiseguy :
I disagree. This is at least a car, not a weird fat CUV thing.
I'm reading in an "answer only in memes" rule, so here goes:

It's a nicer civic, which is what the original integra was.
Bright side, the ILX was so awful this pretty much has to be at least a slight improvement.
