You guys wanna hear a joke: The CivicXI forum thought it would be under $50k.

In all seriousness, I still don't think this apparent reuputation of Acura dealers not marking up cars will continue with the ITS.

Another joke is people thinking the GR Corolla was gonna start under $30k when the XSE hatchback is already at high $20's

Can we just get a GR Camry already so it can put the Integra to shame. Give it the 2UR-GSE from the IS350 F-Sport and Toyota could call it a day.












This will never happen

Someone finally brought it up again. The thought process was insane. 😂

The Integra fighter would actually be a IS with some type of RS badge and a manual. Lol

IS/Altezza was created as the entry level sport luxury car like the Integra was

Agreed, though it's worth pointing out that everything that separates the XSE from a base hatchback is nothing but fluff that costs Toyota less than $1000 .

I heard a lot of those guys think 5k markup is acceptable for the CTR. The ITS is essentially that if you can get it as MSRP. Lol

the general lack of financial understanding with manufacturing and just automotive things in general will never not make me spit water all over myself and drown

Plus nearly everything just costs more money these days, it's never surprising at all anymore. (But it does suck as an enthusiast)

I also heard a lot of people saying a $60K CTR is a great deal because the CTR would be faster than a Supra on whichever track in the world and more practical at the same time :ROFLMAO:

You can slide into a RWD base nicely equipped supra 3.0 with a stick for $1k more. And those can be had for MSRP.

I hate this argument because unless you're buying a car specifically for track duty only, your car will spend way more time on the road than on track

Would love to be there when the FWD 'Ring champ CTR owner shows up at a track and promptly gets bent over by an average Joe driving an SS or Supra.

It seems in Canada the Integra Type S is shoulder to shoulder with our Circuit Edition, is that a good or bad thing? ITS w/ PDI $58k CAD, GRC CE $57k CAD. Just so we're all on the same page, $52k USD is $70k CAD. But we're getting it for $58k CAD lol. Someone please correct me.

4-seater is likely due to the GVWR (gross vehicle weight rating) which is the maximum weight a car can "safely" handle. Civic Type R has lower GVWR compared to a regular Civic hatchback that seats 5.

2023 Type R weight: 3,188 lbs
2023 Type R GVWR: 3968 lbs
You got about 780lbs to spread out among 4 passengers

2023 Civic HB weight: 2932-3102 lbs (depending on trim)
2023 Civic HB GVWR: 4056 lbs
You got about 954-1124lbs to spread out among 5 passengers

Integra Type S is likely a near identical carry over of the Type R.

Your explanation makes sense, because there is no other reason to do this unless required by some regulation. I was number one at my dealer, but contingent on the car having 5 seats. The only thing a little disappointing, the press drives last year all stated this would be a 5 seat car, so I wasted time based on that information that was never corrected by Honda.

Isn't the Integra A Spec a similar jump in price more than the Civic Si?

It seems that I was actually underestimating the CTR by comparing it with a Supra :ROFLMAO: somewhere on the internet people are already saying that the ITS would have "driving dynamics" comparable with an Evija/911. Oops!

I got my final quote from my ITS pre-order, almost 70k CAD drive out. I bailed.

Local Acura dealership I just softly inquired about, has been calling me non-stop. I entertained a call and found out that they no longer had a list...

Everyone bailed.

They want $5000 over, no confirmation if that also includes dealer add-ons.

I said... "So, we are looking at a $57,000 Integra PLUS Tax, Doc Fees, Registration... so about $60-$63000 for an Integra. I'm good."
