Default Acura Integra Type S is coming

Nice to see Acura getting a spiced up Integra , maybe this will add more production vehicles to the severely limited CTR. This will just be a CTR with an Acura body, maybe a couple changes thrown in for good measure. I wish they called it the Integra Type R, never cared for any Type S name Acura chose to carry on with. It sounds like the Integra will be less track focused with better road manners ?

+$50k and no round headlights. Hard pass.

This is what the normal Integra should've been, and considering what the normal Integra costs, a Type S version is going to be a hard no for me dawg.

But I'm sure the FWD fanbois are going to be here soon enough to defend it, so IBTL.

Ya seems kind of lame. $6k more than the CTR but basically the CTR with some softer suspension and heated seats? Seems like a money grab. Is the Integra Type S even sold in Japan?

^The Integra isn't even sold in Japan. So I'm going to assume no.

I would never buy one either, but I still like to see cars like this being made and brought to market. They will likely sell every one they can build.

Are there any new cars that don't get sold? I remember hearing old timers say that they used to crush unsold stock, but that never made sense and as far as I know that definitely does not happen these days. So them selling every single one they make isn't really indicative of anything, but to your point they will likely sell each one without having to give them away like a Chevy Cobalt or a Dodge anything that doesn't have a V8.

I have no info to support my guess, but I think there is more demand than supply for these cars. Along the lines of Enzo Ferrari who always wanted to build one vehicle less than what demand warranted.
