Acura prices 2013 ILX from $25,900*
In the market for an entry-level sedan from a premium automaker? Your choices are few and far between, it seems. There's the Lexus CT 200h and Audi A3, but those are both hatchbacks. That leaves the Buick Verano, which, by all accounts, is a credible entry into the segment. If that's not quite your style, Acura hopes to tempt you with its new 2013 ILX, and it has announced that the base model will start at $25,900 (*plus $895 destination fee for all models).
For that starting price, buyers will get standard features like Bluetooth connectivity, keyless access with push-button start, Pandora internet radio interface and a moonroof. If you want a leather interior, 17-inch alloy wheels, upgraded audio and Acura's excellent multi-view backup camera system, your ILX will start at $29,200 with the base 150-horsepower 2.0-liter engine and five-speed automatic transmission.
Acura has two more engine offerings for the ILX, including a 1.5-liter hybrid model that achieves estimated fuel economy ratings of 39 city and 38 highway for $28,900. On the other end of the spectrum is a 2.4-liter model, which pumps out 201 horsepower and is available only with a six-speed manual gearbox. A fully loaded ILX with the Technology package, which includes navigation and an internal hard drive for music storage, will cost $31,400 with the 2.0 or $34,400 with the hybrid drivetrain. Sadly, it's not possible to order the 2.4-liter engine with the top-level Technology kit.

Fact: This morning, TSXClub sent me some "Breaking News" as the ILX reviews are coming out. Each review link had an image attached to it.
One of them was the new ES at the NYIAS Debut

This is what happens when a tech site starts "reviewing" cars:

They conclude the hybrid ILX is better than the Lexus CT based on styling! O.o

What a piece of garbage. It truly is a Dodge. Acura may as well close its doors instead of drag this out on America's roads for all of us to have to see.

I don't think the car looks that bad. Having the Acura emblem in front makes it an easier target to sling mud at it.
With that being said, I wouldn't buy one myself. The engine offerings are pathetic. They are milking the 2.4L engine like crazy and it shows because power/mpg figures are behind.
