Congrats. What made you switch from the CTR to ITS?

I think it's gorgeous. It has the soul of the Type R, and all the amenities that come with it are going to be nice once again. I'm a sucker for tech and after a year of not having any of them I'm ready for more. Not even having blind spot monitoring drives me crazy. I'd still look over my shoulder anyway but you know. I love the heads up display and the audio system.
The R is stunning in my opinion and the S is just as stunning if not more.

I was thinking that you were trading an FL5 for the ITS. Reading your other comment, FK8 to ITS makes sense.
Especially since FK8 are still going for $40k+.
Congrats and enjoy the car! Post a picture here when you get it.

I almost almost ended up with a fl5. They only wanted 3k over but they only had a blue or black and I just can't with the two colors. I need something bright but deep. Like a midnight blue. I think the Carbon liquid metallic meets that need. I am scared to drive my R now because if something happens to it I'm screwed out of a trade lol

First 200 sold at MSRP? Def. not what 2 California dealers are saying

From what I read, if you get one of the first 200, it's @ MSRP and it does not count against a dealer's initial allocation. So they basically get a freebie to sell the car and collect whatever their commission is on an MSRP car, plus they get whatever allocation they were going to get.
Then again, I read that on an internet forum, so it's probably a lie.

I just confirmed it with three dealers. All ITS reserved through the Portal today from Acura. Com will not be marked up and dealers will be allocated 3-4 a year.

According to my dealer that's how it works. Regardless, we have settled on a price of 53 with a 42k trade and I owe, 30 on the r. I can live with that and then some.

Congratulations!!!!!!!

I like the way the new Integra S looks, I don’t think I’d give up my FL5 for it though. I’m assuming your trading in your fk8 which you seem to be getting a really good value.
Congrats on your car!
Thank you very much. Yes I'm trading the Fk8. It's a 2019 with 20k miles on it. All I know is if they have the same rock issue with the brakes I'm going to scream. LoL
It's going to have the same issue with rocks entering the brakes. It's just a big brake issue and not so much a Honda/Acura brake issue.
That makes sense. So this is the part where I scream. I have had that issue so bad for the last 5 months. I got to the point I just don't park where I have to back out lol.
