Hopefully the ILX will be more impressive than it seems on paper.

Wonder who's going to be the first to buy and post a build thread. I was sort of vying for that position before but after the production pics came out...I'm less enthused.

ILX

This name is horrible.. The hell was Acura thinking.

I hear this thing is targeted towards the younger crowd, isn't that the same target group of the TSX?

Where? Any more up-market and it'll be sitting on the TL.

I'm guessing the TSX may be dropped/combined with the TL. But I do like the TSX a lot and if Acura can differentiate the models enough they can pull it off like how BMW does (1,3,5,7 series). But I do do know the TSX won't be discontinued right away. I'm guessing 2013MY will be the last year.

I'm always perplexed when I see that Acura cannot support an ILX/TSX/TL lineup. It makes the most sense and most of its competitors are doing the same...

Lexus: CT200h, HS250h, IS, ES, GS
BMW: 1, 3, 5 (not including Mini, which I would argue is more of an ILX competitor than a BMW 1)
MB: A-class, C-class, E-class
Audi: A3, A4, A5, A6 (contemplating importing the A1)

even Buick knows to sustain product here...

Verano, Regal, LaCrosse

It would be a lot easier to support more models if at least one had RWD, sort of the opposite of Lexus which has only one with FWD. Hint, hint....

LOL ES-series. I say move the RL up market more, RWD, V8/AWD, keep TL where it is with AWD (3.7 V6 standard), TSX gets the 3.5 and ILX gets the 2.4. 6spd optional all across the board. It was a quick thought.

Unfortunately, this seems like a common sense approach, something automakers don't understand.

If only enthusiasts could take over for a year.............

I'd love me a v8.. but I think the best option for Honda right now is the put their K23T in more vehicles. Maybe a J37T I know it won't happen though.

Welcome ILX. Can't wait to see a bunch of owner pics of them. I like what I've seen so far.
