Re: (Nospace)
We're ALL stay waiting for honda bring back the CRX. So don't hold your breath waiting for a new "integra". Unless you count the "insight".
Which was clearly CRX inspired. But you already know that story.
And it took honda 29 years to bring back the S800 as the S2K. So good luck with waiting for a "new" integra. It doesn't seem that honda works that way.

Re: Question about integras (im a fob)
In JDM land its still called the Integra right? So like the other post said... it never left. And its pretty safe to say the "Integra" will never ever come back state side, since Acura vehicles will not have names like that ever again, they will only have model numbers like MDX, TL, RSX, TSX? To try to bring itself into the "luxury" class of cars like BMW and Mercedes. To name cars again would bring its class down to the Honda class. I know Honda and Acura is the same... but its a marketing thing for the rest of the people in the United States and it works.

Re: Question about integras (B16OnTop)
this might be a thread-hijack...BUT...
why do they make euro/jdm cars for sale different than the u.s.'? Besides the obvious drivers' side configuration, i don't see the need for any changes. I don't understand what they have to gain by having slightly differing models with different engines (i.e. no Civic R in the states)

Re: Question about integras (AznJohn33)
Because different countries have different rules, regulations, and customs. Different climates and geography.
Different cultures want different things from thier cars, and car companies want to sell thier products to as many different people as possible.
I really don't think it's that hard to figure out why cars are different country to country. It's really just car companies maximizing thier options THAT'S WHY cars are all different around the world. I really don't thinks it's some big conspiracy, do you?

they crx is coming back...just don't know when..
"The CRX was brilliant when Honda developed it almost 20 years ago, and the tearaway combination of light and potent hasn't lost its appeal. Honda is believed to be seriously considering developing a two-seat sports car with those qualities, using its new Global Small Platform. The car, which Honda insiders are already calling the CRX, could appear in late 2004 or early 2005.
For the Japanese market, the CRX will exist in two forms: an entry-level model with a 1.0-litre DOHC VTEC triple producing appoximately 74 kW (the engine derived from the block used in Honda's Insight hybrid coupé), and a hardcore 1.6-litre DOHC four cylinder engine (also with VTEC) generating 110-115 kW. Not incredible, until you realise that the target weight for the four-cylinder coupé is said to cut under 800 kg. Put it this way - that's 200 kg less than the Mini and 175 kg lighter than an MR2.
This gives the 1.6-litre variant a tidy 7.27 kg/kW ratio in the worst case. By comparison, a 225 kW VXII SS Commodore has a kilogram-to-kilowatt ratio of 7.52. So, if Honda builds it, the little CRX will stand-out quick. Transmissions proposed are a five-speed manual for the 1.0-litre three cylinder, and a six-speed manual for the 1.6-litre. Use of Honda's CVT is said to be under study, but is not yet an official part of the programme.
The new two-seater is small, and information from Honda indicates a wheelbase in the 2250 to 2350 mm range, overall length of less than 3650 mm, width of 1690 mm and height below 1270 mm. This makes it a strictly a two-pew affair. "

I kinda agree with you. I was looking at an RSX Type-S today while waiting on the service department and I must say, the DC5 is a terrific progression for the aged DC2.

i really wish i knew what those numbers meant... i have no idea how to relate kW to hp. why does the us have to be the only one that uses different measurements?

Yes, and there is a very specific reason why they did that - to increase awareness of, and prestige of, the Acura name. They found that Lexus owners bragged, "I have a Lexus" (without referring to the model number), whereas Acura owners talked about their "Legend" or "Integra", and that didn't do much for the prestige of owning an "Acura". You can agree or disagree with this strategy, but this is why they did it.

Mostly untrue or unknown at this time. Honda has shown the HSC at the Tokyo Auto Show, and it is generally considered to be the model that will replace the NSX within the next year or two. No announcement has been made regarding the name (whether the new model will be called HSC, or the NSX - probably one or the other though), and no announcement has been made regarding whether it will be sold in North America as a Honda or an Acura (but it is extremely unlikely IMO that it will be sold as a Honda).

because in the 80's when honda was releasing their luxury line accross the world, the company wasn't exactly considered a luxury company in america. the view of honda in the states at the time was more of a company who makes lawn mower's with 4 seats, so they decided that marketing their luxury line as a new luxury manufacturer would generate greater sales, and it worked. then toyota followed with lexus and nissan followed with infinity. the general public doesn't even know that they're the same companies.
