Acura Launches Killer Integra Lease Deal for June

As prices for new cars continue to rise year over year, it's harder to find lease deals that are worth considering, especially when it comes to luxury cars. These high-priced sedans and SUVs carry lofty price tags, which lead to higher lease payments and down payments. However, if you're willing to forgo the panache that comes with German badges, then we suggest checking out more affordable options from Japanese automakers like Acura. One particular lease deal that Acura has going on for the month of June is on the entry-level Integra. The current nationwide lease deal is for $369 per month for 48 months, with $3,799 due at signing. The offer includes a mileage limit of 10,000 miles per year. If you currently own a 2015 or newer Acura or a competitor from rival brands, you can get a sweeter deal of $359 a month for 48 months, with $2,999 due at signing. The rival brands include Audi, BMW, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Ford, Genesis, GMC, Honda, Hyundai, Infiniti, Kia, Lexus, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Nissan, Subaru, Toyota, Volkswagen, and Volvo. The Integra is Acura's latest entry in the compact car segment and the most affordable car in the automaker's lineup. It competes well within the segment with rivals like the Audi A3, BMW 2 Series, and Lexus IS, but it brings its own take on luxury by adding a healthy dose of performance. Under its hood is a 200-horsepower, turbocharged 2.0-liter engine that can be connected to either a CVT or a six-speed manual transmission. There are no major changes for the 2025 model year. Shopping for the Acura Integra is easy, as there are only three different trim levels to choose from: Base, A-Spec, and A-Spec Technology. The lease deal in question is for the base Integra with a CVT and a $34,195 MSRP, which includes the destination charge, but the taxes, title, license, and doc fees are extra and will vary depending on your region. If you would rather minimize your upfront costs when leasing a 2025 Acura Integra, we have estimated the payment with $0 down. By dividing the $3,799 due at signing over the 48-month term (approximately $79.15), the estimated payment equates to around $448 every month. *This $0 down figure is an estimation. Official $0 down lease offers from Acura may differ based on their specific calculations, credit approval, and potential money factor adjustments. Always obtain an official quote directly from Acura. Lease offers can vary based on location and specific vehicle configuration (trim level, options, etc.) and are subject to credit approval. The advertised payments typically exclude taxes, title, registration, and other potential fees.

Vance: Trump ‘may decide he needs to take further action to end Iranian enrichment'

Vice President Vance weighed in Tuesday as the Trump administration debates its next steps in the conflict between Israel and Iran. In a lengthy post on the social platform X, Vance laid out the administration's issues with Iran enriching uranium and argued the president has shown 'remarkable restraint' thus far. 'He may decide he needs to take further action to end Iranian enrichment. That decision ultimately belongs to the president,' the vice president wrote. 'And of course, people are right to be worried about foreign entanglement after the last 25 years of idiotic foreign policy. 'But I believe the president has earned some trust on this issue,' Vance continued. 'And having seen this up close and personal, I can assure you that he is only interested in using the American military to accomplish American people's goals.' He said Trump had in recent months 'encouraged his foreign policy team to reach a deal with the Iranians' to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon. Vance also argued Iran had enriched uranium 'far above the level necessary for any civilian purpose.' The post marked Vance's most extensive comments at a precarious moment in the conflict in the Middle East. The vice president was one of several top officials expected to meet with Trump in the Situation Room on Tuesday. Trump departed the Group of Seven meeting in Canada late Monday, one day earlier than expected, because he wanted to be back in Washington as Israel and Iran traded missile strikes. The president said during the flight back to Washington he was looking for 'an end, a real end, not a ceasefire, a real end.' He later described what he was seeking as a 'complete give-up' by Iran.
