Like the title states, just got back from seeing it on the dealers lot.

Few thoughts:
- in terms of size I was surprised that it is nearly identical to the TSX. The TSX has a little bit of a bigger butt but they were very close in size despite the significant weight difference
- the stitching on the leather seats was a bit of a turn off, had one stitch down the front that looked pretty cheap. Otherwise the interior was quite nice.
- I didn't think I liked the latest TSX but it actually looked really good when parked right next to the ILX. I actually want to test drive the TSX now.
- I just can't see them moving 40K units it's just not very nice and there is nothing particularly unique about it. Once they put ED tech into it that could warm me up to it again.
-Overall, I think I have all but scratched it off my list, waiting on the ED 2.4 6MT Accord now.
