Looks like the Civic?
What the hell?
After Acura went to the trouble of ditching the Civic's body panels, people still see the resemblance? Hell.


Yeah. At least while sitting together on the transporter, the Civic and ILX sharing the same wheelbase stood out. The first difference to catch my eye at least was the chrome window trim, especially at the c-pillar. The person who couldn't pick out the ILX at first is not really a car enthusiast; more into motorcycles. So basically it was a first impression from someone removed from those of us who've known and seen pictures of the ILX for months. A raw first impression. But cars are more likely to be seen on the ground and not on transporter trucks, and we'll hear more impressions from the public as time goes on.
