The first generation of Acura Integra was released for the 1986 model year. Created to be a more upmarket and refined model, the Integra was offered as a sedan or liftback coupe, and with a selection of inline four engines. Variants offered included the RS, LS, and GS. Sold outside of the North American market as the Honda Integra, the first generation Integra was in production until 1989 when it was replaced by the Second Generation Integra.
