Have a wild theory about what we might expect from the 2022 Integra? You better get it posted online soon, as Acura confirmed that it will unveil the prototype of the next-gen model next week, November 11, in Los Angeles starting at 5:35 p.m. Pacific. (That's 8:35 p.m. Eastern.)
As a recap, here’s what we’ve been shown so far:
Excited? …
Really curious about the front end styling (a place where Acura hasn't done well since 15 to 20 years now depending on which model is being considered), the interior and controls, and the price. Especially the price.
Color me personally intrigued as well. If this is a five-door Civic Si, that would be cool.

Pretty much exactly what I want. Fingers crossed.
In reply to David S. Wallens :
I'm wagering that we'll see that as the "base" model, with a Type-R-based "Type S" version available later into production.
I'm also trying to curb my expectations and remind myself we'll be seeing the prototype, and not the production model.
There's a lot of stress in my life at the moment I badly need this to be good... Ready to put a deposit on one if it is
*yawn*
You did ask.
In reply to Colin Wood :
I'd love to see a Type-R based Integra. All of the under-pinnings of the CTR seem great but that styling...
I mean, it's basically just going to be a CTR with a different body and fancier interior materials, right?
Considering what the CTR costs, I suspect this will be a $50k FWD luxury compact sedan?
In reply to z31maniac :
I don't think every Acura buyer is going to need nor want Type R-specs; I would guess this is intended to replace the 10+ year old ILX which starts in the high $20k range.
I'm assuming there will be a base Integra with the 1.5T or 2.0NA (probably the former), and a more expensive Integra Type S that is basically a fancier Civic Type R, maybe with AWD.
Keeping in mind that the Acura TLX Type S is a $53k car fully loaded with the turbo V6 and AWD, I would guess the "base" Integra starts around $30k-35k and the Type S is around $40k-45k. Acura will not want to cannibalize its own sales by going too far upmarket unless it has *serious* performance chops.

Same here ...
In celebration of tonight, a meme:
Announcement here via live stream, I think? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K40wcyYGVUg
Not bad but I was expecting them to show more, like the interior.
Overall not bad, $30k, manual, lsd. Front and rear bumpers with "Integra" embossed like previous gens, that's pretty cool.
Need more pics.
