OCT 13TH–OCT 19TH, 2022 PHOENIX NEW TIMES phoenixnewtimes.com State Licensed Dispensaries & Doctor Certifications IS IT A THROWBACK? 2023 ACURA INTEGRA cura is “bringing back” the Integra or at least the geniuses in the marketing department deserve a raise as Acura took the boring ILX and “rebranded” it (for the most part) as the Integra and you know what, it kinda worked. Now, Clutch has never been a been Acura or more specifically, an Integra fan, so the nostalgia is lost on me but Acura did build an affordable “higher end” sedan. A They claim to compete with the Audi A3 and Mercedes CLA Looks: Pick-Up: Handling: Comfort: Passenger Comfort: and they definitely do in style, luxury and affordability but they have a little ways to go with the “cache” of Acura. At the end of the day, if you’re buying the whip for what you get, not what the name says, the Integra is a must buy. Priced at $37,395, the Integra A-Spec has all of the high end features in the cabin along with a sporty vibe that makes the experience driving the 200 horsepower 1.5-liter direct injection VTEC Turbo 4-cylinder extremely enjoyable.

The gun metal gray 18” alloy wheels and a nice touch of sport to the A-Spec package and the lines, curves and front end are absolutely bad ass. You have to check out the Integra if you’re looking for a styling sedan. The 26/36 MPG puts it over the top. Again, the nostalgia is lost on me but the 2023 Acura Integra is a vehicle to watch out for! I ’m a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride, I’m wanted…. dead or alive. For the life of me, I couldn’t figure out what the 1794 Edition meant by looking at, sitting in or being near the 2022 Toyota Tundra. I had to look it up, unfortunately, but what I found out made a lot of sense. The Western theme, rich cream upholstery, imitation suede inserts and leather accouterments. No wonder I listened to Bon Jovi and watched Young Looks: Pick-Up: Handling: Comfort: Passenger Comfort: ON A STEEL HORSE I RIDE: 2022 TOYOTA TUNDRA 1794 Guns all week. Now, the Tundra is a beast. The i-Force 3.5L Twin-Turbo V6 delivers the goods with 389 horsepower (lol) and 479 lb-ft of torque. The power behind the wheel makes you feel like you’re out on the range galloping through grassy meadows to track down a lost steer, a real steel horse.

When you close it up, it retracts which was a nice, useful surprise. The 17/22 MPG is standard for the segment and the $66,395 price tag is quite a steal for a full size pickup. Not sure if the Tundra will “make ya famous” but it is an affordable, quality truck. 50
