ILX GSR with K23T?    (Score: 1, Normal) 02-25-2012 12:22

Now that the RDX is going V6....

I think it would make sense for AHM to drop the K23T into the ILX, call it the Type S ( I prefer GS-R) and offer it with MT6 and LSD. I figure, I'd even take the plunge and live with a turbo so long as I could get my hands on 260 bhp on a FWD/MT6/LSD small ride... THAT would be the true spirit of the GSR.

That would differentiate it from the Civic Si and bring back a very well known -and loved- brand.

Meanwhile, the K24 can go with both the MT6/LSD and then a nice AT6SS... I dare say that the AT'd K24 will sell like pancakes at IHOP on a saturday morning... It would be the newer, faster, lighter TSX.

Call this the GS.

Keep the nice R20 as it is, call it the LS.

Hmm..

ILX GSR, GS and LS....

Hmm.. call a spade a spade, huh? WAKE UP AHM....

Integra GSR, GS and LS.
