I still don't understand what they are doing in the interior but I like everything else.
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 monthsThis quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Shit, there's only 49 users here, I doubt we'll even break 100
That's sexxxy
Yeah that ILX would be sweet. although I fear it needs more than a detuned engine.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
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.
Looks like 355hp for the type S model

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?This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

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.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

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.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
