    Acura Prices The 2013 ILX

    Acura has announced pricing on their smallest vehicle, the ILX. The base price starts at $25,900 (Excludes $895 destination fee) when it goes on sale next month.

    For that amount, you get a 2.0L four-cylinder producing 150 HP, six-speed automatic, cloth seats, a proximity key, Pandora and text message functionality for the audio system, Bluetooth, alloy wheels and a power moonroof.

    For an extra $3,000 ($29,200), you can add the premium package which includes leather heated seats, power adjustment for the driver’s throne, an uprated 360-watt stereo with SiriusXM and active noise cancellation, fog lamps, 17-inch alloy wheels and a rearview camera.

    For another $2,200 ($31,400) is the technology package which adds ELS surround sound audio, AcuraLink multimedia functionality with voice recognition, and a navigation system with a 60-gigabyte hard drive.

    There are also two other engine choices; for $29,200 you can get the ILX with a 2.4L four producing 201 HP, a six-speed manual transmission, and the premium package. The tech package isn't available on the 2.4L.

    Then there is the ILX Hybrid which comes with a 1.5L hybrid powertrain and CVT. The base ILX hybrid starts at $28,900. The only option is the Technology Package which adds $5,500 ($34,400).

    150 hp and cloth seats for $25,900, what a rip off. I don't get why people still buy Acuras, they are barely any nicer inside than a Honda and Honda's aren't even that nice.

    Other than SH-AWD, there is almost no real difference between Honda and Acura (except maybe a slightly nicer interior). And people wonder why Acuras do not sell anywhere nearly as well as Lexuses. . . . .

    Who wonders that?

    There are huge differences, and not speaking simply as a blinded Acura rep now, while a few platform bits may be shared, even models that have similar guts underneath are nothing alike. Try to compare an MDX to a Pilot, for example. They never simply re-skin a vehicle, they're unique, have different customers, different powertrains, totally different drive character, unique drivetrain systems, etc.

    We have a lot of interest in the ILX. Gives a lower priced step in a slightly smaller and more efficient package, into the Acura brand that has been in existence for a few years now. More so, it is most like the last/first gen TSX offering a smaller, lighter, and less expensive package than the current model.

    ILX vs. Verano vs. should be good reviews to read. Acura needs more marketing and will be getting more attention soon with more all new models like the volume MDX being new at year end, the TL being heavily re-done for 2012 but it's replacement also not far away (TL-X I do not know, if so. At a recent Acura gathering the RLX and it's rollout were discussed, but the TL and it's new replacement after the new MDX were still referred to as just TL, it may or may not be), the RLX itself, and new powertrain options.

      February 9th and its place in history ... I always give this one a thought when I look at the calendar. The good: Today is the day that the Boeing 747 first took to the sky in a smooth as butter departure from Paine Field in Everett, WA where it was assembled.  This makes for one helluva "feel good" moment in time. - - - - - The bad: Today is the day that, 55 years ago, Los Angeles had its "famous" Sylmar earthquake.  Clearly, this was the inspiration for the original version of the 1974 film "Earthquake."  The Northridge earthquake took place on MLK Day in 1994 got more coverage because media improved.  The latter quake seemingly did a lot more damage.  Northridge sits in the middle of the San Fernando Valley while Sylmar sits at the top end of the San Fernando Valley, where Los Angeles really thins out and sits at the base of the San Gabriel Mountains foothills.  The commonality is that in both quakes, at least one of the really long concrete overpass connecting the freeways I-5 and CA 14 collapsed.  Every time I've driven under it or next to it, I've remarked that that is one really long span (CA 14 terminating and feeding cars onto I-5 southbound into the Valley and L.A.) - - - - - 1971 high ramp collapses at I-5 and CA-14 1994 high ramp collapses at I-5 and CA-14 (same interchange) The Los Angeles area went 20 years between its 2 major earthquakes.  San Francisco had its historic 1906 quake that turned the then younger city into rubble, not having one again until 1989 - the Loma Prieta earthquake. The most severe fault in the state (the San Andreas) goes through San Francisco, while it crosses where the mountains end and the Central Valley begin some 50 to 60 miles north of Los Angeles. When you grow up around this, you seemingly familiarize yourself with all these facts and figures.

      Haha.  Well, it's new compared to what the trailer is carrying.  It goes to show how well I (don't) know my BMWs and other foreign cars.

      Or the old and less old...that BMW X5 is at least 20 years old.  Not sure what the little car on the trailer is.
