The new 2023 Acura Integra has been controversial, to say the least. Not everyone was happy with the way it looked, and this was made even worse when the interior of an Integra Prototype was leaked just a month ago. However, if you're one of those who are looking forward to owning the reincarnated Integra, then the magic date is March 10, 2022.

Yes, that's right. Acura is opening the pre-order books for a car that we haven't even seen in production form yet. Okay, granted, the Integra Prototype that we've been seeing for a while now will essentially transition into mass production with barely any changes, but this should also mean that the production version should finally make its debut soon.

Acura has already created a webpage for those who want to pre-order. They also revealed that the vehicle will start at around $30,000, and they are also proud to highlight that the Integra is "the only vehicle in its segment to offer a six-speed manual transmission".

If you order one now, then you could be one of the first ones to own the new Integra once it hits dealers this Spring. This compact sedan/liftback gets the same 1.5-liter VTEC Turbo four-cylinder gasoline engine as the Civic Si}, which means it should produce around 200 horsepower and 192 pound-feet of torque.

So far, Acura has only revealed the pre-production prototype version, but someone was cheeky enough to leak its interior, which, unfortunately, doesn't stray away too far from its Civic roots. Granted, it's a nice interior, to begin with, as it is part of last year's Wards 10 Best Interiors, but those who want something that's a bit more special might be disappointed.

However, if you're compelled to get yourself a 2023 Acura Integra, then now is the right time to reserve yours.
