"I’m thrilled to say Integra is returning to the Acura lineup with the same fun-to-drive spirit and DNA of the original, fulfilling our commitment to Precision Crafted Performance in every way – design, performance and the overall driving experience," Acura Brand Officer and V.P. Jon Ikeda said.
Long a favorite of import compact sports car fans, prices for the sought-after Integra Type R models have recently skyrocketed, with one 1997 example selling for $82,000 at auction.
