Honda has stunned the world with the sudden unexpected release of a new 2012 Integra for Europe, marking a return of the much beloved Integra name to the vehicle market. The compact Integra features Honda’s revolutionary six speed dual clutch semi automatic transmission that features ultra fast shifting by pre-selecting the next higher gear before disengaging the current drive gear. Amazingly the new Integra is now RWD!

The Integra also features 17” alloy wheels, disc brakes, a lightweight alloy space frame and an efficient, high compression engine featuring PGM-FI injection. No word to whether or not a Type -R version would be released soon.

Below is the official Honda Press Release. We were just about crapping ourselves until we read it....

When they release the Type R, they can remove the rear storage box and replace it with a wing.
 
Its good to see more RWD on the market. I had enough with the freaking subcompact FWD market. Hopefully its priced close to the Toyota/Subaru car.
 
No, It'll be cheaper.

Granted you, lose some things. Like a roof. and two wheels.

thing is, this is a DN-01...that doesn't look as cool.
 
I think we have no worries there...

Only thing that disappoints me... 27 km/l? But I guess with a 700cc twin, you can't expect economy to approach thumper range...
 
Niky's either 7 months and 10 days late or 4 months and 20 days early.

Hahaha! Niky is a smarty-pants! I think he just trolled all of us just for the sakes of it! Oh Niky, I send my respects good sir!
But, one question: Will this actually be called the Integra??
 
It is, and it was.

Can't control what manufacturers call their vehicles elsewhere.

I mean, this is the Ford Fusion the rest of us know...

Thanks for the reply! But yes, I think I know that car! And how would you have a dual-clutch in a Motorbike, Mr. Niky?
 
Probably much the same way as in a car... gears on separate shafts... would help constrain packaging width (since the gearbox is usually sideways), but the height and length might be a problem.
