^I don't know what it is, but the ILX just works for me. Really really like the look of it (15 or 16)
Are the new headlights wider, or is it the grille? Looks like the grille to me, but it's hard to tell

^^ I am not a fan of those either. Out of all three available, the ILX A-Spec appears to be my favorite but I will wait to see all three in the flesh before making a final decision. Pics are somewhat deceiving as evident by the I4 wheels of the TLX which look better in person.
I wasn't a fan of the revised wheels of the CR-V in pics and they look as bad in person...

^^ It is a common theme with Acura as of late....
I am still not sure how I feel about the rear black plastic section on the rear bumper...I think this is one aspect in which the pre-MMC was actually better. That being said, the bodykit (rear piece) can totally change this perspective so I am reserving judgement and until I see one in the flesh....
I do love the new interior, the drivetrain upgrades (please let the DCT be free of problems) and I like the new front design.

Kind of agree, kind of disagree.
I like the style of the base 17" wheels, but the car just looks so good with 18s that I think they look better because of it.
However, I actually really like all of those wheel designs, Si or ILX. Everyone's saying how Honda is just screwing up their wheels, but I like all of the most recent ones!

Colin...Now that is where I think you and I disagree. I think wheel design can make/break a car! A good example is how horrible vehicles look in the winter here when people put the steel rims to protect their alloy wheels. Acura/Honda has had bad wheel designs as of late and it is unfortunate.
Another good example is the RLX....That car would look much better by giving them better wheels IMHO.
What I do like about the base wheel compared to the A-Spec wheel is that they are all silver and don't have that stupid glossy back theme that everyone seems to go with. Not sure who/when that trend started but I dislike it with a passion. I don't like that swoop that the base rims have as it closer to the outer edge of the wheel (closer to the rubber)....That is where I think they screwed it up...almost trying to give it a directional pattern.
Wanna see ugly, look at the wheels on the CR-V with that dumb little extra section on the wheel design. Seriously?!?! What were they thinking....

In my opinion first and foremost a luxury car should always tell other people "I make more money than you" This refreshed ILX finally does that. I think its a win, and I love the way it looks. Especially in that blue.

Not bad...I was leaning towards the TLX but possibly wait for the 2016 models to arrive...however, the ILX isn't bad looking itself, and w/ the same 2.4L engine as the TLX, this will sell quick!
However, thought it would be dual exhaust??? Looks like just a single exhaust which is half hidden? Still not digging the hidden exhaust for new Acura models...but i guess there's always after market mods for that.
The lower, longer front almost seems like they're going back to the Integra roots for this one.
Overall, good job Acura.

Agree. That's why I like the "base" model better; easier to clean no black areas which you need to clean better.

I'm not trying to hate too much... but WOW.
I will agree that gold-digger type chicks come a plenty when you have a car that says "More money then the next guy".
