Thumbs up

I just checked out those pics and i must say i like it. I think they made it look more sporty. I also like the blue interior but i doubt it will make it to production.

Nice, I like the color and the interior. But the ass seems a little bit short and too high. Close to 200hp, damn, with a manual it would be faster than our TL's for sure!

I like the way it looks, which is something I couldn't say for the 94 when it first came out.

How about the empty fog light places in the bumper. Watch them not offer an OEM foglight

They have taken the best of the old integra, mixed in a tiny bit of BMW, and made a tidier package than the Celica. Nice job. Nice color scheme.

The only thing I'd find annoying is the 3-spoke wheel. I've gotten used to resting my hand in the bottom "rung".

The 3-spoke wheels are I believe the norm among pretty much all "real" sports cars...be it the Acura NSX, S2000, BMW (sporty versions), Ferraris, Lamborghinis....Is there a reason for it ??!!

I think its got too much of that hatch look... the old integras didn't so much.

Big cars that are hatches don't really seem it, Supra's, 3000GT's, RX7's, and a small hatch that LOOKS hatch-like screams rice rocket when its modded, ya know like civic hatches or focus'... I'd've expected the Integra to be a little step up.

Oh and I would have like to have seen more fender flare, or a wider looking stance. The Celica has similar styling, but pulled it off a lot better IMO.

I'll prolly grow into it though.

I wonder what it'll be called.

The rear end hints CRX!! That's good!

Not too sure what to think about the front end. I find it sort of weird looking.

Since it is based on the new Civic, no way can it be RWD. However, they can make it AWD by adapting the VTM-4 for the Integra...but I doubt that will happen.

It's gonna be called the probably the 1.7RS or whatever displacement they end up using..

I like it quite a bit, though I do agree that it looks almost too hatch-back like....That C-pillar makes me think of the Chevy Monte Carlo thogh!! *shudder! Overall it is nice, and i don't care is the interior is pink, as long as it has those seats......yummy!
