Maybe they'll prove everyone wrong this time.

The Integra has always been a sport compact for younger drivers 20 - 35. That generation of people is going to expect a cell phone with wheels and some level of automation. It is antithetic to a "driver's car". The next Integra will look sporty and drive like a computer; if it doesn't, it will not sell in the volume necessary to justify the investment to produce it.

A manual transmission can be set to "comfort", "sport", and "track" modes simply by the technique and speed at which you shift it; it doesn't need "modes", modes are for manumatics that try to behave like a real 3-pedal manual transmission. If you can money-shift it, it's a manual transmission. "Yeah, but NO ONE puts an automatic trans shift knob on a manual transmission."
