Car heads: What was the point of Acura bringing back the Integra? Car looks just like the TLX

[Canada Goose]

OG Integra had a unique design compared to other vehicles Acura was offering at the time....

2023 Integra looks JUST LIKE the TLX....

TLX for reference:

I'm a Honda/Acura stan but this move confused me, IMO it would have better to give the Integra a different look than the other Acura cars.

TheTroper from Youtube drove one....

 

[March Madness]

it was mostly marketing lol




Acura has to re-invent a winning, corporate design-language for their cars.




i think the NSX is beautiful even though it’s not "spiritually" a NSX successor.

It's just branding so they can sell cars.

ROCHESTER, N.Y. (AP) — A Rochester couple who a Black firefighter accused of throwing a racist pool party this summer mocking the Juneteenth holiday said Tuesday that the party was intended to ridicule liberal politicians but wasn’t bigoted.

The couple, dentist Nicholas Nicosia and real estate agent Mary Znidarsic-Nicosia, said their July 7 party had been mischaracterized, but Znidarsic-Nicosia confessed to running a racist Twitter account.

According to a legal notice filed by firefighter Jerrod Jones, the Nicosias’ party featured a display mocking the Juneteenth holiday, which celebrates the end of slavery in the 19th century, with Juneteenth flags displayed over buckets of fried chicken.

Jones, a 14-year veteran of the fire department, said his captain forced him and two co-workers to attend the party while on duty. He filed a notice of claim against the city of Rochester and the fire department seeking at least $3 million for emotional distress and at least $1 million in compensatory damages.

The fire captain, Jeffrey Krywy, was suspended by the department and later retired.

The Nicosias said Tuesday at a news conference with their attorney, Corey Hogan, that the party was anti-liberal, not anti-Juneteenth. Hogan showed an invitation that described the party as a “liberal smashing splish splash pool party.”

Znidarsic-Nicosia said the fried chicken was not meant as a racist trope but was simply a convenient food choice.

Znidarsic-Nicosia did admit to running an anonymous Twitter account that posted racist images and content but denied being racist. “I have made blatantly racist comments under that persona,” she said. “The culture of Twitter operates that way. It gives you an opportunity to be someone you’re not.”

Nicosia said he has lost patients at his dental practice because of the allegations of racism. “We were tried and convicted on social media in a false narrative that was created,” he said.

Asked about the news conference, Jones’ attorney, Nate McMurray, said the Nicosias had confirmed the substance of Jones’ notice of claim while additionally admitting to the Twitter account. “We will use that press conference as evidence going forward,” McMurray said.

It's just branding so they can sell cars.

It's a rebranded civic

this just shows that they don’t give af what enthusiasts want.

You may as well buy a civic si, unless you just have to have the Acura badge.

If they made a high revving, light, small car, that actually looked decent, people would buy it

 

[Estarossa]

Like others have said it’s literally a Civic with an Acura badge on it… with the Civic Type R coming out there’s no reason whatsoever for this car to exist.

 

[Doin2Much Williams]

Acura division is soooooo fukkin out of touch. Oats and hall.



.

 

[Chrishaune]

A lot of these car companies are selling the same car with different shells and different badges.

It's the reason they make so much money.

It's going to be even more obvious with these electric cars.

 

[Michael's Black Son]

Reheated ILX and the interior is all Civic.

You get some different powertrain options over a regular ass Civic but it’s the same damn car. Why even dig up the Integra name unless you’re serious about rebooting the whole lineup?

Acura is in Infiniti territory with shyt no one wants outside of the MDX. Lexus IS circling the drain as well outside of the LX/RX. the new NSX is basura and at this point why not look at Genesis when they have better designs, powertrains, tech, pricing, warranty and you KNOW the facelifts will come in 2 years instead of 5.

integra and TL : civic and accord

 

[Windows 91]

Mitsubishi did the same thing with that "Eclipse" they released.

 

[Collateral]

Fancy Civic Si. It’s marketing like others have said. They’re clearly gonna kill off the ILX now, it’s the same car and serves no purpose.

 

[Lord_nikon]

that new Integra design makes me feel angry,, im sure it's top quality and will last 200+ miles tho

 

[maxamusa]

When I heard about this I was gonna cop day 1. And I've been a bike guy forever...That was my first set of wheels....then I saw what it actually was....Acura dumb AF.

They're sleeping on a market that would be HUGE today. Whoever is on the board up there doesn't know wtf they're doing. They can keep that
