So far love it. It has that si charm but without that boy racer stereotype attached to it. Only con so far is lack of forums about it. Like for my 9th gen between this site & *************** the support and mods can't be matched.how do you like it so far? pros/cons?
Wait the new ilx 2.4 didn't come with a lsd? Why acura! Whyyy!Diggin it. Too bad it doesn't come with a LSD tranny. Such a bad move on acuras part. Wonder if the gear ratios are different.
I know. Wonder if the transmission is exactly like the si with gear ratios just with out the LSD.Wait the new ilx 2.4 didn't come with a lsd? Why acura! Whyyy!

Really? I know that. But if your using the si engine obviously they want a sporty feel. And our Acura CSX which is based on the 8th gen chassis had the type S model with the si engine and LSD diff. So what changed.You're assuming that the car has a manual transmission.
The ILX doesn't have the LSD because it's not marketed as a "sports car" or "sporty car" It's supposed to me more of a luxury car.
Same platform as the Civic but completely different body and interior.
Acura trying to save a dollar would be my guessReally? I know that. But if your using the si engine obviously they want a sporty feel. And our Acura CSX which is based on the 8th gen chassis had the type S model with the si engine and LSD diff. So what changed.
I understand that so why even offer the motor. Guys like me would like the car with the tuxedo and fun under the skin. Trust me it's made quite a few buyers not go for the ILX. Acura could have kept with the formula as done with the CSX type S. No different to Audi's variant of the A3 and RS3. Trust me guys want the luxury and the power. Would it be a huge money maker maybe not. But it's not like they have to design and engineer and new transmission. Or at leat give the ILX 2.4 a dual clutch. It's competing against the like of the A3. Acura had a TL Type S also so there is heritage there.Acura's target demographic has no need for an LSD. Duh.
