Hi there!
After much research, I got rid of my beloved Acura Integra, and just yesterday picked up my 99.5 A4 2.8 Quattro A4 with sports package. Great car, am just delighted I am off the rest of the week to hit the road!

I did exactly the same. I sold my Acura Integra and bought 2.8 quattro.

Great choice! No comparison.

Default How does 0-60 feel in your new 2.8 compared to your Integra?

Default Welcome - I bought an A4, but also kept my Integra - Congrats

I wonder how many new A4 owners use to own an Integra? Maybe Acura should listen in to what Integra owners buy when they grow up. Enjoy...

I have a 90 integra gs with 185K miles. Since it's not worth anything
in a sell or trade, I plan to keep it as a (semi) beater, to keep some of
the excessive mileage off of my 00' A4 1.8TMS.

Obviously Honda has been sitting on their thumbs with the 3rd gen
Integra. The rumors of a FR layout with s2000 mechanicals are interesting.
In fact there is a pic on the vtec.net message board of a proposed 2001
teg, looking a great deal like the A4 from the B-pillar back. Whatever they
offer, it won't have the elan or refinement of the A4, imho!!

Default Ralph, my 90 Integra got 205K, still runs great.

Dealer offered $600 for it. I heard about the rumor of S2000 spin-off also. I agree with you on comparison with the A4, but I'll reserve final judgement until it comes out. By then the new A4 will have been out too.

Default Integra sellers...

I'll also be selling my 94 Integra GSR Sedan (Isle Green - similar to Cactus Green) when my 00 2.8 comes in November. It's got 101,000 trouble-free miles, but no Quattro!
What were yours, and would you mind letting me know what you got for it (you can email instead of post to the board)?

Thanks
