My point exactly. Kia is giving it's customers what they want.

Honda/Acura is still telling people what they want rather than listening to what we want.

 

in other news; Honda just released the new civic

 

Once again- My point exactly. WTF is that...

No one bought the Accord Crosstour, but Honda thought this was a great idea?

 

a 5 door hatch; its what the people wanted

 

That civic looks like 2015 ilx front copy

 

because it is.

usually test vehicles that are camo'd use part-bin parts.
so, may or may not be the final form of the civic...

however; the back hatch area is just

 

That's exactly what I thought when I tested out the TLX.. what a POS.

That's a concept fool.. they'll fuck it up. It looks fucking fantastic though.

 

I enjoy the Optima's in production form.
dont think they can mess it up as much as honda messes up

 

Gus's wife's Kia makes me sort of want one: https://acurazine.com/forums/car-tal...-924159/page4/



The back of the new Civic looks like the stupid Pontiac Aztek..

 

Aztek > *

 

?

 

Well someone posted in car talk that Acura employees who can lease ilx for free basically are getting other brands

Plus the ilx 2016 camera supposedly worse than before

Geejuz maybe open contact is on to something

 

WOW, I see ILX owners are very touchy. LOL, I would too if I had spent 35K on a civic with Acura Badge.

 

When I was reversing, took 5-6 sec for the back up camera to come on and quality was sh*t.

I personally think ILX needs to be scrapped, and focus on improving the flagship RLX.

 

^^^

Holy crap

 

Says the guy that bought an overpriced Accord

 

I am sorry that you ILX owners got so offended, sometimes reality is hard. I was so disappointed and hurt at Acura with the ILX I drove for three days and couldnt hide my emotions. Why cheapen the brand and build something so stale. The truth shall set you free.
"Hurt me with the truth but never comfort me with a lie."

 

Get a civic, then go to ebay and buy an Acura badge for $12.95 and switch them. Saved you 15K, you welcome.

 

Get an Accord, then go to ebay and buy an Acura badge for $34.50, and switch them. Saved you 20k, you're welcome.

 

You think the ILX hurt the Acura brand.. brand was in the shitter far before it.
Somebody has blinders on..

 

Better yet, go buy a Chrysler 200.. save yourself at least 25k.

 

I see you guys get so defensive and call me all sort of names. Is bloomberg credible enough, or bloomberg is a troll as well. Instead getting so defensive and having denials, get together hire an attorney and demand a refund for getting ripped off.

From bloomberg Article

"Here’s a thought: Why would you buy a $28,000 Acura ILX, rather than an $18,000 Honda Civic??They’re basically the same car."

Link to bloomberg article

 

since when was Acura a luxury car mfg?

 

Also.. $30k luxury car.. oxymoron, or just moronic.

 

16 ILX is basically a mini TLX, it has the same engine that's in the 2.4 along with an 8 speed dct

you can say that about any luxury brand, overpriced Toyota, overpriced Nissan, etc.....

 

Sure it's a concept and may not make it to production like that, however, show me some good looking concepts from Acura...

Waiting....



Still waiting.....



Stillllll waaaaa.... Ah, fuck it.

 

This thread went south super quick.

Justin. I love cars. I am allowed a negative opinion on a few. So I don't like Kias. You are going to have to get the hell over that one buddy.

 

i wouldn't spend 40k on your TLX V6 either by the way rumor has it, the MMC '16 Accord V6 will have the same 9 speed auto TLX V6 has, there goes another thing differentiate TLX and Accord.

 

i would totally agree with you for the pre '16 ILX. but the '16 version has different powertrain than Civic, which is the most indicative way to differentiate two cars.

 

We're on the ILX board.. bars not set very high. Although it is higher than the TLX board.

 

Compliment taken. I'll be on my way.
