The Honda Civic Type R’s more refined brother has arrived. The new Acura Integra Type S returns after a 20+ year absence in the American market. It’s now better in just about every way, including 320 horsepower from a turbocharged four-cylinder that’s mated to a proper six-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. The Type S also gets a performance-tuned Adaptive Damper System, Brembo front brakes, and lightweight 19″ wheels. The Type S adds nearly three inches of width, a bigger grille, an aluminum hood with scoop, more aggressive fender trim and rocker panels, bigger front intakes, and a different rear fascia with triple center exhaust outlets. The result is an angrier-looking Integra with even more performance than the 200-hp Integra. Inside, the Type S gets more aggressive sport seats with perforated leather and suede, a 10.2″ configurable digital gauge cluster, a 9″ touchscreen with wireless CarPlay and Android Auto, a wireless charging deck, and a 16-speaker ELS Studio 3D audio system. The new Integra Type S will go on sale this June at an estimated price of under $50,000.

Vaer’s G5 Meridian Watch Looks and Feels Better Than the Five-Times More Expensive Option It Reminds You Of
Vaer has been one of our favorite watchmakers for as long as we can remember because they produce new, classic watches based on iconic designs. Case in point, the Vaer G5 Meridian watch you see here. This timepiece is a 1950s-inspired 20ATM automatic watch that’s USA-assembled, dual timezone, built with ocean-ready functionality, self-winding and the brand’s first true GMT (the latest version of their core dive watch design). What’s more, it pays homage to other watches that are incredibly more expensive or hard to come by whilst also adding new aspects that makes this Vaer G5 Meridian watch more desirable than the other options in our opinion.
