time for another post, here it is,
The Acura Integra
(credit: commons.wikimedia.org)
Where to start? It was one of those barely sports cars made in Japan in the '90s. What's worse than its fake sporting credentials (the biggest engine was a 1.8 liter) is that the Integra was a Honda Civic underneath.
There is a slight issue with the styling. The front fascia looks like one of those hideous multi-eyed bugs. Also, the body lines of the fenders don't really line up with the the side of the car. So it looks like it has fender flares at the front, but not at the back.
The engines weren't great, either. The most powerful version, the Type R made 195 horsepower. The (equally hideous) Toyota Celica of the same time period had a 2.0 liter Turbo that made 251 horsepower, for $4,000 more than the Acura. $4,000 is a lot of money, but the Celica Turbo All-Trac had AWD, a turbocharger, and was a rally homologation car. With the Acura, you get an Acura badge.
So, the Acura. Slow, not a sports car, and hideous!
Do you have any thoughts about cars/cats? What drives you crazy? One post a week so stay tuned!
