why you think i made this thread?I don't know why won't u ask the next person you see driving an ILX
Acura ILX is a rebadged Civic.Especially the ILX
OP didn't know this already its kind of a dumb question. The answer never changes you want the name over the more common stuff when you can get it. This is the same just about everything don't see how this is a question. I agree with @Mr210 why didn't OP ask the owner instead of,waiting to get home and post hereAcura ILX is a rebadged Civic.
Acura ILX - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
You're paying for the extras and the name.
????A few years ago there were some styling/power differences but now the Acura badge is so watered down.
The only saving grace is the NSX which is out of other people's reach.

The Integra was just a fancy ass Civic and people loved it. ILX is no different.
Admittedly, now with the brand new Civic the current ILX is kind of pointless. But compared to the last Civic the ILX is based on, the ILX has
- better transmission- dual clutch 8 speed not available on Civic
- better interior
- better styling
- LED headlights not available on Civic
- better engine- 2.4L with direct injection, not available on Civic
- more standard equipment like auto down windows, bluetooth integration etc
- active noise cancellation
Similar story with the TLX. You just get a little bit more and the engine/transmission are upgraded. It works. Lexus ES is just a fancy Toyota Avalon and it's the best selling midsize luxury car by a wide margin
I don't even know of a car whose driver's side power window doesn't have auto down.- more standard equipment like auto down windows
Driver window sure but all windows?I don't even know of a car whose driver's side power window doesn't have auto down.
nah the TLX and ES are different. I'm mostly talking about "Low-end" luxury models from these manufacturers.????

Even if u limit it to that, I'm not really seeing the problem. This is not new, the first Integra came out in 1986, and was worth the $$$ over the Civic it was based on. I see these cars more like trim levels than whole new cars. Some people might want the basic Civic, some might want it with leather, some might want it with the Acura badgenah the TLX and ES are different.

now if they had based it on the new civic then...Even if u limit it to that, I'm not really seeing the problem.
