Welcome to the new ILX Section of AcuraZine!

We're thrilled to create a home for this new, exciting model coming soon!

cheers,

THANKS !!! Can't wait till people start posting in this section also.

 

 

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

 

Very happy that there is now an ILX section. I emailed Ron A from Acurazine 9days ago about an ILX section and bam here it is. This ILX board will be a usefule tool to all future owners...keep up the good work ladies and gentleman.

 

 

 

I wonder if Jerry Seinfeld will own the first one.

 

Woo hoo!

 

 

 

So looking forward to it!

 

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?

 

Thats what I'm thinkin. I believe the TSX is goin up market.

 

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.

 

Just found out K23T being removed from RDX and replaced with J35.

 

^ it'll be ok majofo-fo. Maybe they'll get it together soon.

 

 

 

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