Love for the Type-S

From this article, it's said HONDA has announced a stop in production of integra.

this is the link: http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do...ticleId=115523

HONDA only sold 3000 intgera in the last year, this would be the reason for the stop production. :o

What will that do to the 2nd hand market?

but its incredible how a 2L NA 4cyl engine can make 200hp... :)

Sure it is FWD but with the right mods and a good driver they are still a very capable car. Its around the magic 250bhp+ mark when steering and powering the front wheels becomes trickey, not to say its not enjoyable though. I think the chassis in the S and R's can handle a little more power with out taking away from the handling to much.

gold GTi is has 220bhp and the stig spun it out last night on topgear!!!, the holden astra has abit more power and the handling was disgusting, not because they're a holden astra or a VW golf but because they're FWD, integra is a great car but probally the main reason they arent selling much is because they're FWD and got such a big price tag for what they're worth.
so for those of you that dont see the major flaw with FWD cars just take the red pill and wake up to reality.
i dont mean to put anyones car down, they're great cars but you should be open minded and be able to take unbiased criticism :)

I don't think the problem is being open minded as I'm not biased towards one platform. I agree with what your saying in that a RWD setup has less cons that a FWD. But regardless of what the platform is there's pro's and con's to each. It has been tried and proven that a front wheel drive car can be a "sports" car and sell (look at the cult status behind cars like GTI Golf, Type R, Clio etc) Are they bad cars? no, would they be better with RWD layout, Probably. My point being that FWD cars have there own charactistics that some people enjoy. And when mastered a FWD car can be a lot of fun to drive. If a car is fun to drive i dont see the wrong wheels turning as a flaw. I don't think what you were saying is criticism, more or less an opinion.
