The TLX was just not put together well enough when I sat in them last year. Same as the Infinity, the finishes were not quality enough for the price point.

And when the “Sport” models don’t have a different drive train than the spec model, it’s kind of a bummer.

As the past owner of an Integra GSR, I can say that I'm not really feeling the new one.

By “sport” do you mean A-Spec or Type S?

A-Spec is only an appearance package, Type S is their sport model and it does indeed have a different power train (turbo 6 compared to the turbo 4).

I used to hate it, but my wife has one that's bolted on top of the dash and I love the almost eye level nature of it. Now that I've gotten used to driving her car so much, I don't like my built in display.

I agree it doesn't look as good, but it's very functional and I could see it being a bit safer.

My '93 Integra RS was amazing to drive. Tight and short gears, could shift with flick of the wrist. Could drive from BR to SELU for a week on one tank of gas.



...Even though it was just a Civic on Adderall.

I absolute hate the aesthetics of it, right up until the time I have glaring sun in my face and remember trying to view a map app on a less functional but better integrated screen half the size. I soon forget how difficult that was and immediately go back to hating the fact the newer screens are too bolt-on looking.

Seriously, love the functionality, hate the look.

Exactly.

They are very pragmatic, just ugly. I guess it boils down to which of those things is more important to you.

I was interested in the Integra but now that Toyota has revealed the GR Corolla, I think that’s going to be my next car. I just don’t see the Integra as being that much better than a Civic Si. And in my opinion, neither of them are great looking cars.

Love it, but it's too small.

I would get the TLX Type S though.

Of course I would drive it. I’m not going to pay that kind of money for it though.

Another new model vehicle that has that ugly arse screen not flowing with the dash.


Agreed. Don’t know why so many cars are made with the screen sticking up in the dash. Wife (no pics) has a Volvo which has the screen inlaid in the panel. Looks and functions well.

Yeah, I think them and Dodge trucks both did a great job integrating the larger screens into the dash.

It may be a decent car for the price.

Love the manual transmission

Should start at around $30,000 for the entry level models; but the 6 speed A spec versions will probably be closer to $40,000.


Pricing puts it up against the Dodge Charger, $30k is starting MSRP for SXT models and $40k is in R/T territory.

I had an 08 Integra years back, and it was a loud, rough ride. There were great things about the car, but they need to address those two issues. Overall I did like it, and this is a nice addition to the car market. Entry at $30K is great as well; this inflation of car prices has to stop. This and more like it may hopefully bring it back down some.
