Wouldn't mind considering the ILX with a turbocharged engine and SH-AWD over TLX.

I highly doubt there will be a turbo ILX, at least until the next generation comes out in (probably) Model Year 2019. Probably will have a turbo by then, as Honda's next gen engines are out.

Competing with the Focus RS seems to be the job of the Civic Type-R. Honda hasn't seemed interested in that segment in the U.S. market, and I can't remember the state of the rumors about the new Type-R coming here. Sure would be nice though.

A properly done turbo/AWD ILX could be a real nice competitor for the A3/S3 and CLA. I would be extremely interested.
