My CPO Demo TL was 27,000 out the door with 5k on the odo. I wouldn't buy the TL for new money.

We don't know much about the ILX, but the above are facts about the 1st gen TSX that we know the base ILX won't have.

1st gen TSX was also very competent - named to C&D's 10Best list. in some ways, it drives better than the 2nd gen TSX, which most reviews peg as being a softer TSX now.
Yup, 1st gen TSX was better equipped for similar money.
Of course, exchange rates aren't what they were in 2003. But isn't that why the ILX is being built in the US?

Do you think the ILX would be a good used buy in a few years?

I thought RSX-S and early TSX was over price but this ILX is one level beyond that.

In answer to the titular question 'What is Honda thinking?':

They are not. There is about as much intelligent thought taking place in that company as there was in Terri Schaivo about the time they pulled the plug.

At least the 1st Gen TSX was a Euro Accord.

This is what happens when you let accountants take over a company. Maybe the head offce in Japan will wake up and boot all these assholes who have destroyed the company.
