Looks like we might have a possible spoiler in my second car purchase: the 2016 Acura ILX. The forums are buzzing with rumors about the new powertrain, which is assumed to be the i4 and 8-speed auto-tranny from the TLX with...wait for it...SH-AWD. With the way the TLX is priced, I don't see how it could be more than $35k and I'd rather have an Acura than a Subaru despite how much I love how the new WRX looks and it's a mean looking mofo.
Acura being Acura though, I'm guessing that everyone is wrong about the SH-AWD and it'll more than likely be the P-AWS FWD from the TLX with all the chassis upgrades from the Civic SI as well as similar interior styling as the TLX. Too bad the official unveiling isn't until 11/19 for the LA Auto Show, but I might have a new car as an early Boxing Day present(pun!) for myself...oh and the baby too. :lol:
