I wish they redo the whole design cross the board, Honda and Acura, they can't just depends on built quality along anymore in today's competitive market.

Did you learn why they like and chose it? Inquiring minds want to know

They trade in their 95 Civic for it, a gift for their daughter study in college. Well, at least I think it's a better choice than the Camaro that their teenage daughter insisted on.

I saw the ILX. It's not the worse car in the world. The only problem is the drivetrain. It's very lacking for the price. If Honda can give it a class-leading engine, then it could have been a winner.

Honda should stop wasting their time incorporate hybrid technology on top end cars, like the new RLX. Honda Insight and Civic Hybrid are more than enough to put your footstamp in the world of hybrid. instead, Honda should really develop a new line of DI V6 engines on the high end cars such as RLX, the new and upcoming TLX or even the V6 Accord, enough of this SOHC iVTEC stuff.

Lol from Camaro to ILX.....wonder how happy she's about that.

Anyways, give the design reigns to whoever designed this:

Hahah, daughter is not happy at all, but compare to her old Civic with no AC ( ac broke last month, which is part of the reason for the purchase ), the new ILX still is world of different.
