They don't make those anymore? They don't make the Prelude. No S2000. What do they even make then? Supposedly there are NSX's but I don't ever see them.
After wrecking my parents Oldsmobile Cutlass, I had a new 1997 Acura Integra my senior year in HS. Loved that car. Held on to it as a secondary car until 2012. Still an Acura man; currently drive an Acura TLX.
Curious if Honda will use the same turbo motor from the Civic Type R or are they going all-motor to make this a true Integra. Hunch says they'll do the former to cut costs but it would delight the 30-40 something crowd if they could replicate the HP/L ratio they had with the S2000 all-motor.
My sister had a 1998 Integra GSR when she went to UT in Austin. That car got stolen 3 times in Austin and was found in San Antonio everytime. The 3rd time it was involved in a police chase and the thief totaled it running from the cops after having the car for like 2 weeks I used to always ask to borrow it any chance I could. That thing was awesome to drive, freaking loved it
I was an Acura man and drove a 2004 TLX for about 250,000 miles before it started giving me issues and bought a 2015 TLX. Talk about a mistake. lol. The car is reliable other than the transmission that absolutely sucks and initial quality that sucked. It also eats batteries to the tune of a new battery every 1-1.5 years, and nobody can figure out why. I'm already thinking about getting another car, but not sure what yet. I'm trying to talk myself out of getting a new one since this one only has around 117,000 miles on it, and like I said, has been reliable other than the wonky transmission and stupid batteries.

I love Scotty Kilmer's videos. A shame he was a Houston/Texas fixture for 40 years or so and gave up on Texas and moved to ... Tennessee. He's got a pretty big YT following.
Honda/Acura and bad transmissions go hand in hand. It's like Nissan/Infiniti and shitty interior materials.
