The fact that everyone is fretting over the wheels shows how great of a job Acura did with the new car. Quite frankly, I'd take a great new powertrain, added features and everything else that the new ILX offers (with the "controversial" wheels) over an ILX with none of those and some better looking wheels.

 

How does it show acura did a great job?
I'd rather take the ilx I have honestly.
Sure the power in the new ilx is great. But my ilx is already an upgrade from my integra so I still got power gains. Mainly a ton more torque.
I like my front end more. My rear end more. My wheels a whole lot more. I like my interior more with its perforated leather. Even the new touch screen looks odd to me. I don't really know why but I'm fine without is once I saw what it looked like with it.
