Being a Civic Si in a tux, I hope these guys reveal that the extra weight doesn't slow it down too much.

I wonder if there's an embargo after the drive period as there often is, or they can begin sharing immediately. Hoping for the latter.

There usually is from my understanding. Acura will likely allow some stuff to be posted immediately after but the full embargo usually lifts at a later date.

If that's the case, we should at least get a lot of visuals, more than we have currently. I expect to see quite a few walk around videos with observations before the embargo. Anything specific you are hoping to find out?

Just, you know, everything. But mostly overall impressions and sportiness.

Haha, I hear you on that.
Fingers cross that they address weight concerns. If Acura makes it sporty enough then they'll have a real winner on their hands. But then again, the Integra as we know it is way better than the ILX.

Agreed on all counts.

I just want to see more stock Integras without the dealer add-on crap

As a CVT reservation holder, I hope there are some driving impressions of the CVT model as well, not only the 6MT. My biggest concern with the vehicle is sportiness and/or fun-to-drive factor with the CVT (I personally have to get the auto option).

Which reviews are you looking to watch or read first? For me it's Throttle House and Savagegeese.

Definitely want to see The Straight Pipes and Alex on Autos.

 

[turboteg]

Straight Pipes are ok but less in-depth. Sometimes they have what I think are strange takes - like the Hyundai Santa Cruz being a good car for 'grandmas'. Like, huh? I still watch most of their vids though becaues I like the guys. Savagegeese will for sure be the most enlightening, and Throttle House after that in my book.

I really like Redline Reviews, and if Tedward does his own drive that’ll be fun.

Redline is a little dry but informative and I like the guy, so I will look forward to that. Only personal minus there is that he’s a smaller-framed guy so it’s tough to get a sense of how a tubby ogre like me will fit. (Speaking of curb weight — heyooooo! [sobbing noises])

POV vids are nice for sure. Tedward is fun (and in my neck of the woods!), and TheTopher is pretty informative as well.

Throttle House will probably be pretty entertaining and honest, so I look forward that. Savagegeese is always super thorough and that should be good. I may or may not hate-watch other reviews as well 😉

 

[John]

I just don't enjoy the savagegeese videos. The main guy rubs me the wrong way. Throttle House and Straight Pipes are essentially the same level of detail and they both have weird takes. I prefer The Straight Pipes since they are approach cars like normal people. The Santa Cruz comment is hilarious and also perfectly accurate.

I know a reviewer who is on the early list (sorry, can't reveal who it is). They said the review wouldn't be overly detailed (mostly "how it drives") but I did pass along some of the concerns raised here and on other boards.

Do you know when they will have their review out and available?

I don't know. They didn't indicate if there was a quiet period before they can publish.

If you know them, couldn't you just ask when the embargo will be lifted?
