2024 Integra Type-S at Long Beach

[Klasse]

Is Japan getting their own JDM version of the Integra type s?

Wondering this too, and other RHD markets. Seems to be LHD only as far as I can see

The TLX and Integra are made in the Marysville, OH plant. The FL5 is made in Japan but the FL5/DE5 engines are made in Honda's Anna, OH engine plant.

I think the majority of Honda's sales are in North America and China, and there's already a Chinese Integra that's basically the Civic sedan here.. Not sure of the most recent sales statistics but I think a couple years ago Honda's Japan sales was about 14% of Honda's total sales while North America and China were about 30% or so each. I don't think the TLX is sold outside of North America either.

Maybe some ECU, suspension, engine upgrades, and exhausts for the FL5 would work with the DE5.

I'm still watching the CTR market against the Elantra N, but this one is impressing me as well. The lack of heated seats in the CTR is a big miss IMO. At this price point, I want heated and cooled seats, as one gets with other sports cars.

Agreed. I don't like either iterations enough to buy one. Missing key features simply make it an overpriced Honda for real. I just can't get over the concept of a hatched-back sedan - As if Tesla and a mazda had a love child. In any case, I said this on FB too, I'm still looking forward to their modification future. People can sometimes be really creative.

I really find this sexy yet aggressive....

then I see this... and I'm turned off all over again.

What's with all the missing shift knobs?

[Outrun]

They're removed to prevent theft. Whatever company that was contracted to keep the display cars clean also removed the knobs before or at the beginning of the race weekend.

Gotcha, that was my assumption yet it was odd to see so many pics without knobs. Sad that steps have to be taken to prevent petty theft life this
