Talk:Honda Integra

This page should be linked to the original "Acura Integra" Wiki page. As of now, the GS-R link on the Original page is linked to a section called "Poor Man's Type R" I believe Poor man's R should be a link off of the Newly Created "Acura Integra GS-R" Page here. There should also be a clean picture of a GS-R and a quick reference box under the pic. Anyone have a pic to donate? Also, Someone please make these changes as I am not quite Wiki literate yet. 68.56.31.86 (talk) 05:04, 17 May 2011 (UTC)

The Japanese model changed to the rectangular lights after the 1995 facelift. Australia and New Zealand (and probably other markets) retained the four headlight look, but the design was slightly changed (quite hard to describe).

I've tried to clean up the article a little, but it's difficult as different variations were sold in different markets. --RossTangye 10:37, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

i have an integra vtir DC2 built in 1997 and it has the circle lights not the rectangle like lights. im just thinking if the information was accurate since i have magazines which have tested the DC2(stock) with circle lights which mean they have been in production atleast up until 2000 and not ended production in 1995 just as it says on the page

I've never seen a DC2 (with square lights) that new here in Australia, are you sure you're not mistaken. I have a DC3 Integra GSI and it has the round lights. --60.224.25.58 10:39, 6 July 2006 (UTC)


 * I had the 1.8i non-vtec second generation Integra, but it had the pop-up headlights as per the first generation. An amazing drive, knocked the spots of every other car I've owned, even an RX7 wihich was a more powerful but less engaging drive. Very fuel efficient if driven with alight foot, awesome if you put your foot down. The Yowser (talk) 15:10, 7 March 2012 (UTC)

Integra's dead
It should be mentioned in the article already that the Integra is dead. It is no longer offered in the US, UK, and has just been discontinued here in Australia. it is completely over for that name but instead beeen replaced by the rsx and now they are leaning toward the tsx. as for anywhere in the world just like any other car its time has come and gone for production. thus, being true does not mean that the car nor its life style brought into effect is going anywhere anytime soon... I don't know if it's still being made for the Japanese market or not. Davez621 14:26, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Late response... Anyway, I wouldn't exactly refer to the Integra as dead. It's out of production in North America, but not dead... It's currently referred to as the Honda Integra (Type-S and Type-R) overseas where it is still sold. ⒺⓋⒾ ⓁⒼⓄ ⒽⒶⓃ ② talk 16:52, 16 September 2007 (UTC)


 * As of 2012 Honda are re-using the Integra name for a scooter! The Yowser (talk) 15:10, 7 March 2012 (UTC)

Production figures
I don't know whether the production figures for the 3rd generation include the Integra SJ - it's a rebadged Civic, but it was sold as an Integra. AJHW 17:28, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

The Honda Integra is no longer sold in Asian markets or Japan anymore. as of early 2007. Last models were made 2006 for the 2007 MY. But the Integra is no longer produced.Kongkit (talk) 21:54, 4 January 2009 (UTC)KongkitKongkit (talk) 21:54, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

Missing Information
I had a Honda Integra for several years and it was by far the best car I've ever owned. It had the first generation body shape (e.g. pop-up headlamps), but the 139 (not 140) bhp engine described under the second generation car.

No mention is made of the fact that this car was part of the Honda- Rover co-operation programme, hence the overall body shape, several body panels and many detail features were identical with the contemporary Rover 200 series. I'm not expert enough to give proper dated detail on this but perhaps someone else can address these issues?

Worth mentioning that the car was hugely better performing than the Rovers; the 1.8 twin cam engine was the precursor to the VTEC engine, very flexible with a very wide usable torque range. The ride was harder than is normal for a family car. In many ways it was an economy sports car pretending to be a saloon, rather than the usual Euro formula of boring cars dressed up as 'hot hatches'. I could certainly burn off an XR3i in mine any day :)

Error: 1998-2001 model is NOT a DC5
I'm almost positive there's an error in this article.

The 1998-2001 model, which is lumped under the third generation is still considered a DC2-type Integra. DC2 refers to the chassis code, and is essentially a description of the third generation chassis and type. The 1998-2001 should be considered instead as a 'minor model change', which is where mid-cycle freshening of an existing model occurs.

The fourth-generation Integra is what should be classified as DC5, since this is the chassis code for that generation.

see www.vtec.net or www.clubrsx.com/forums for more information.

integra - TSX???
TSX is clearly an Honda Accord, check the officcial page of Honda Japan. www.honda.co.jp

Honda Cars Table
when i scrolled down to the bottom of the Integra article and saw the table of Honda cars, placing them under categories and giving a kind-of timeline to represent when they were in production, i noticed the Honda Beat is under "sports". its a Kei-class car, so how come it isn't under the "kei" heading?

with a 650cc engine its far from a "sports"

i would edit it, but i've got no idea how to do it so was hoping someone with some better editorial knowledge would be able to do it.

Feoffle 14:08, 3 December 2007 (UTC) Plus the integra only has 98 hp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.163.18.2 (talk) 09:45, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

This is correct The TSX is actually the certain asian market and Europe Market Honda Accord. And has nothing to do and was not teh replacment for the Integra sedan. The 1997-2003 JDM Honda Accord (which received slightly diff front and rear facial treatment ) was the 1999-2004/5 Acura TL to which the JDM Accord of 2004 filled the slot of the Integra Sedan when the DC2 finished its run.Kongkit (talk) 22:01, 4 January 2009 (UTC)KongkitKongkit (talk) 22:01, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

US Focus
This article looks to me to be written too much in the focus of the US and Acura. This article is titled "Honda Integra." While I agree that the Acura Integra/RSX should be a part of this article, it should not be the focus, as it is especially in the DC5 section. In fact, it lists the DC5 as done in 2006, which isn't true. heat_fan1 (talk) 03:02, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I agree the article is too US focused, if you have any info regarding the model in the rest of the world feel free to add it. --Daniel J. Leivick (talk) 03:06, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I agree, the information is downright inaccurate outside of the North American Market.  The issue is how to format it in a way that makes sense, almost needs a separate Japan section under each model. 121.73.35.90 (talk) 04:41, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

Type R
The focus of the 1993-2001 Integra is focused too much on the Type-R model and not the rest of the line. This article is quite poor. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.63.97.114 (talk) 02:51, 17 October 2010 (UTC)
 * That's great, so why don't you take it upon yourself to improve it? Saying it's poor isn't very helpful. Ghost650 (talk) 19:17, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

Several false things on the article
1st the Third generation was a coupe or a sedan not a hatchback 2nd there is no 2022 Integra while there are spyshots of a Acura coupe its likely it will be named the next generation Acura ILX or a RSX and is unlikely to use the Integra name unless the Integra name will be used in the Japan model
