Acura ILX

Snooze? Like they say, the outgoing TSX seems to be the more desirable car. You get what I assume is a better platform (European Accord, rather than the Civic).
So, this is not a bad car. But buyers have a lot to choose from in this price range, like the turbocharged Buick Verano -- well equipped, it can be had for around the same price. It has about 100 hp on the Acura and it looks better, in my book. I'd like to give it a whirl before choosing a favorite.
I don't want to say this is a red flag, as the Verano is a decent little car, but this is, shall we say, atypical of top shelf Honda products, no? Therefore this isn't a top shelf Honda product.

I don't really see the appeal of this car since it's just a dressed up Civic and Honda's current Civic isn't really a class leader anymore. I like the outgoing TSX better. I have considered the TSX wagon as a Rondo replacement, but the resale appears to be too good at this time.
