Silvio Calabi: The ILX is Acura’s 'executive express'

The ILX is a 2013 Acura, a brand-new model that was sent out into the world to entice younger buyers into the fold. It’s a four-door, four-passenger sedan about the size of a BMW 3-Series or C-Class Merc, and it offers similar levels of floss and gloss for a lot less money. Underneath, however, lies the chassis of a far more humble car, the Honda Civic.
