    Slightly off-topic but this is Acura's latest roadmap for all their vehicles between now till 2022...

    Imagine an ILX Type-S with a detuned CTR motor, DCT and AWD...

    I can't quit tell if I like it or not. I don't love it - I don't hate it. So for me at least in the first instance, it's just blah...not something I would turn my head for.

    It definitely seems like a great option for you to own for 2 months

    Yeah that ILX would be sweet. although I fear it needs more than a detuned engine.

    It needs full 306hp, otherwise a golf R might still be the better buy lol.

    I don't think I had realized the ilx was still using the 9th gen civic as a base. At least now it should jump to the 11th gen.

    That’s about the perfect amount of power for a DD, assuming it’s not too much of a porker. Fingers crossed it comes in under 4k lb, it’ll be just dandy. I’ll wait a couple years and buy one when someone else has ridden the steepest part of the depreciation curve.

    I am glad they finally have a decent engine for that thing! And it looks good imo. Only other issue I had with it when test driving besides the lack of power, was the shitty handling. Way too soft and boring of a ride. Hopefully they fix that too.

    If they can sell Japanese reliability with S4/340i performance, they should have a winner on their hands. I hope they don't mess up the transmission, Honda/Acura has a history of using in-house solutions instead of something like the widely adopted ZF8HP in the segment, so if they use their own I hope they do a good job. Their manual transmissions are some of the best available, but automatics not so much.

    If only Honda's were reliable. Been below average for a few years now.

    That’s too bad. Is it mechanical or a tech issue like screens and the such?

    I had a 2020 as a loaner the other day and all I came away thinking was uninspired and dated. Definitely going to be test driving a 2021 based off the previews though.

    Do you have an objective data source for that or is it just your personal opinion? I haven't seen or read anything about that and we all know JD power is a sham.

    CEO admits as much, quality issue hitting 2-3% operating margin.
