The Acura Integra is coming back in 2022!

Think I’d rather put that kind of money for an Integra on a DC2 Type R.

Seriously. Not the same car to compare, but over here, nice DC2s are about half the price of the new Civic Tyoe R.

That price is ridiculous. I was thinking about selling my DC5 and getting one, not at that price.

I guess that's one way of getting people to buy a TLX Type S instead.

Truly ridiculous price. I bet with options and ADM these will be listed for more than base Caymans.

To be fair, an Integra Type R in 1997 started at $25,000, which is almost $50k in 2023 dollars.

I think you are kind of rounding up or down at each step to make it seem a little closer. Based on some window sticker searches, the ITR was selling for about 24.3k in 2000 which is more like $43k in 2023 dollars. The 1997 model was a little cheaper. $43k actually sounds somewhat reasonable for the ITR, but the CTR is already that much. IMO the CTR should be like $35k and the ITR should be about $40k. $52k for a FWD hatchback is ludicrous.

IMO the CTR should be like $35k

Not sure if you've checked the economy but money isn't worth anything anymore. Friends and I were talking recently about how a six-figure salary is basically required to own a house and raise kids as our blue-collar parents did, even in Ohio.

I'd rather have a relatively rare and special car for $52k than a bare-bones BMW 3-series that gets lost in a Target parking lot for $52k. I don't care if the hatch isn't as nice, it's an experience, and we millennials love experiences.

$35k can buy you a top of the line Corolla sedan after taxes.

Welcome to 2023 folks.
