That's a fun little video too!

Also is that engine noise correct? Did it sound NA to anyone? I don't really know what new cars sound like.

I like the video. In my opinion that twatter video should have shifted to the 97-98 shift knob , then the 00-01 , not the alphanumeric branded rsx.
Is Acura branding it the integra or an rsx in the states?

I'd speculate "Integra" as that's what all the hype has used. Inversely I'd like to know if it's going to be sold outside the US? As a Honda no doubt.

I was also wondering this. The engine sounds fun, like old school Honda. If they could offer an n/a engine in this I think that would be great.

It’s sort of funny, I used to be very caught up on the NA vs FI. Yes NA is much much more pure, ideally more reliable over the long term, and preferable to most skilled drivers on the track.

Then you pull up to any stop light and realize your going to be at 5k just to start off with the same power of the cars all around you, it sets in small displacement NA isn’t very compatible with today’s typical street driving. Then there’s the other fact that most targets of a sporty road car aren’t skilled drivers and won’t be able to maintain a high strung power band on anything but a drag strip. I’m pretty sure manufacturers’ design teams are aware of the impact of that reality on sales figures and fuel economy standards/expectations/cost on valve timing.

My .02, @Acura please bring the golden era absolute commitment to engineering that allowed the bseries and era chassis to become legendary, and support the amateur performance/modified community to help promote your product, we can bugger it up from there.
