How does the precision compare to the tsx, seeing as they've cribbed some stuff from the stillborn fr sedan? Any changes at highway speeds?

yes, I meant to hit on that, and in fact I did, but apparently during some cut and paste shuffling of paragraphs I somehow dropped it.

The steering precision is indeed better than the TSX. Funny story, during one of the receptions, somebody introduced me to the engineer who developed the system in the ILX. We were talking about EPS systems in general and I mentioned how I really didn't care for the feel of some of the implementations, and particularly how the TSX's tended to wander, and I couldn't figure out why it was the only Honda/Acura system that had that particular afflication. This guy's face turned a little red and he said "I apologize. I designed that". Then everybody started laughing, maybe a little uncomfortably. Anyhow, the steering in the ILX is definitely not as "A.D.D." as the TSX's setup.
