Hey, accurate Tigra. Uh-huh. We haven't driven this yet. It's a storied name. It's something everybody's been really excited about because the Integra is back. It is. It's the 2023 Accura Integra.

We are driving it. It is manual transmission. You can get up actually in Integra with a CVT. That's not the one you want. No, it's not. You want this one? Yes.

Turn horsepower. Yes. Turbo. Yes. 1.5 liter. Force-under. Front wheel drive. Uh-huh. You know what? It's a good car. It's fast. I like how it drives. Uh-huh.

A lot of good amenities. The price has gone up. What the price is, I think, competitive, though. It's under 40 grand like this loaded out, which on one level is expensive.

But if you think about it, though, if you get into this kind of mid-size, quasi-lucky luxury sedan, you're probably spending well over 40.

So this is trying to be in the whole market a little bit less expensive. The issue, I know we're not there yet. The issue is compared to the Civic.

Yeah, it's 38 grand in a vacuum. You go 38 grand for the stuff I would put this with and Accura wants you to put it with. You go, okay, that's kind of the bottom of the market kind of.

Yes, but every other almost $40,000 car of this size and the things that Accura wants you to compare it to has more than 200 horsepower.

Yeah, and some of them are rear-wheel drive. Yeah. Or all-wheel drive.

So the big news here is the Integra's back. For sure.

What Honda has done is put a new body on a Civic S-I, the 11th generation S-I. Yes.

Pretty much what this car is. Well, I guess not pretty much. It's almost exact.

True. Almost every spec in stat you can find and read about except for a few key ones.

It is longer, it is wider, just a little bit. But the key reality though that we must acknowledge is the Accura Integra, which is beloved.

Okay, especially the Integra R. Yes. In spite of that, it has always been an alternate Civic.

It's not like this is the first generation that Accura has made in Integra. Yes.

It's suddenly like the Civic. It's always been an upscale version of the Civic.

However, a key element where I think this car splits from the Civic is that it's always been the upscale version of the Civic and the better driving one you want.

And that's a place that I don't think this version of the Integra is as good as past Gens. Well, I agree with that.

This is also now the only car at Accura builds that doesn't have a wheel drive.

Which has been like their model. It's been their thing. That's their business model.

Yes. And their entire brand is handling all wheel drive. This doesn't have it. And it's just over $37,000.
