What do y'all think the pricing difference will be between A-spec and the tech package? I reserved a regular A-spec to keep it on the affordable end, but I'm curious if I will regret it. On the one hand, the bigger screen + wireless carplay, memory seats, parking sensors, and even HUD are all nice - as are the dynamic dampers though I don't think I need them. On the other hand, I think I'd actually prefer not to have the suede inserts, and I'm not sure the package is worth $2500+ to me, but I don't know what the cost of it is so that's hard to say. My dealer did say they may be ~36k OTD with tech package, but unconfirmed. I've been expecting like $31k base, $33k a spec, $36 w/ tech pkg. Future Type S ~$40k+?

$36k sounds about right. The TLX starts from $38k and Acura will not want any Integra trim to overlap it.

Only exception is probably the Type S.

Great choice of cars. Are you going to try out the new Civic in manual? I don't think the Integra should be far off, at most the gear ratios might be slightly different but still very much the same.

I'll undoubtedly drive the new Civic Si when I have the opportunity. But the Integra would probably be my preference due to the availability of leather and other amenities in the A-Spec Tech. Similarly, the GTI Autobahn would be my choice in the MK VIII if I decided to go in that direction (I went with the SE w/ lighting/performance pkgs on my '17 GTI). Whether it's the new Integra, a GTI, or another car with a 6MT, this will surely be my last ICE purchase. I, for one, am certainly not ready do embrace an EV only future quite yet.

Atleast Toyota designed manual transmission for a EV.

Funny how the projected sales percentage of trim level is totally off from what they got on day one! They got 500+ reservations and 70% were manual.

I'd love it in a Supra EV I guess. Great torque and can apex everything.
