There's a sinking feeling in my stomach that the TLX will be another ILX. The ILX has been getting a lot of flak and hasn't really caught on with auto fans or buyers. I hope Acura learns from that fumble. What do you think Acura could do to not repeat the mistakes of the ILX?

This something I fear myself. Acura hasn't exactly been winning any accolades with the ILX. The best it's got going for itself right now is the buzz off the NSX. As for the TLX, it has been pretty quiet and so far it's too early to tell whether the TLX will be successful or a disappointment.

how i see it, if Acura actually noticed how bad they messed up on the ILX, they will use that as a learning lesson on what NOT to do. Acura TL's have usually been good ever since the 1st gen so im not too worried. we'll just have to wait and see.

I actually find the ILX to be a decent car. The problem is Acura made some mistakes by not offering 2.4 automatic transmission and missing package options for the manual.

yup they failed on the ILX a bit, but on the plus side it's still early in the production cycle, just one year in so far, so depending if Acura smartens up and gives people what they want then the ILX could be exactly what people want.

They have always done a great job with the TL, so I wouldn't be too worried.
