As I said before, I think this car will sell for the most part on looks alone, if the price is $25-28K USD. I like the design and the size. It just needs the ED engines to match the looks.

Although, I would not be surprised to see the RDX become a sales home run compared to the ILX (of course, depending on price of the RDX staying close to current).

Yup. And IMHO, it's better looking than the TSX!

Yeah, I'm almost regretting that I got out of my 06 CSX-S just 5 months ago.
I didnt think this car would be anything worth looking at.

If this had the fuel economy and power on top of the looks I'd be REALLY upset.

5door form, I'd be ready to sell my 5 month old car for it.

This is a good looking care overall. Not a fan of the lower front bumper, though the hybrid's looks better than the gas engine ones. I'm still not a fan of the curvy beltline design. I can live w/ those two things, but the thing I CANNOT live with is the pathetic exhaust setup. Hidden and just a curve tipped. Oh man, the curved tip just reeks of cheap, econo-car. I can understand that setup on the hybrid and even the R20, but the supposed 'Performance' K version? That's just unacceptable for the performance trim. Not only did the dual exhast not happen, but this is just salt in the wound.
