To me the cars just not good enough. It doesn't do the Integra name any justice, yeah it might feel nice or feel bigger but it's an Acura ILX with a new name that's all it will ever be. No coupe, no slim version. Just a bulbous 4 door sedan with a giant body overall that just doesn't suit it. It looks like every other car on the road and not like an Integra. They could a picked up where they left off with the RSX and atleast kept the integra platform but nope. Agreed it's not a terrible car it's just not an Integra it's ultimately an ILX or a Civic, people will just pay for the name sadly despite it not being what it should be or even worth it's value because integra was pushing near 200hp when it was discontinued 20 years later and you can still only produce a 200hp car.

We'll have to agree to disagree. You're right that it's ultimately a blend of the last ILX and the latest Civic, just with a few changes, and a modest body redesign. I like the style more than most cars, although it has a lot in common with other contemporary design.
But IMO they did pick up where they left off. The 2000 Integra GS-R (any automotive enthusiast knows that as a highly respected Integra) had 170 hp and 128 tq. The 2023 has, I think, 200 and 190 respectively. The 2001 RSX had 155 and 141. So yeah, 20 years, but a meaningful jump in power. The Type-R from 1997 had 195 and 130, and the RSX Type-S from 2005 had 210/143. It's best to compare these to the forthcoming Integra Type-S, which we don't have specs yet, but the collective thinking is that these numbers should be 300+/300+. That's a big jump, and I would argue that it is worthy of the time gap. When you compare the previous top line against the new baseline, I don't think that is reasonable.
Here on this forum we've been reading remarks like yours for a year, and while you are entitled to your opinion, and I appreciate that you presented them respectfully, I'm sure I'm not the only one here who thinks you are off base. My 2023 Integra A-Spec is ABSOLUTELY an Integra, and so will the soon to be seen Type-S.
But hey, if you prefer a Nissan Z or a Subaru WRX or a VW GTI, enjoy! I had a time in my life when the sportiest new car I could buy was a Dodge Neon, and I put 130K miles on that car. There's room on the road for all!

Will you be selling your Integra?
