I spotted an (insert obscure car name here) classic car today!

The nice thing about the ILX is it looks substantially different than the Civic. I don't believe they share any body panels or interior bits.

Much better than the 2 generations of the Canada only Acura EL/Acura CSX it replaced that were identical to the Civic except for slightly different wheels, headlights, and a few more options like leather interior which wasn't available here in the Civic until last couple of years.

My point remains - they had to de-content the Civic to make the ILX seem more luxurious. Neither car met my expectations.

What did you think of the 2013 refresh of the Civic? I thought it was pretty nice.

Forgot to check it out, but I'd want a hatch anyway. The kids were tired at the auto show so I was rushed towards the end.

I don't think decontenting the civic had anything to do with the ILX. They did not really take content out either (as in features) just cheaper materials.

IMO. they tried to trim costs to compete with the Corolla and Koreans on price.

Spotted TWO 1970 Nova(s) in the past week. One fooled me because the extensive body work eliminated all fender lights. The other looked pristine by comparison. One was a rather hideous deep red, the other a 'factory' light blue, just like a neighbor owned 'back then'. Bench seats sure made it easier to snuggle in those days

I saw two last-gen Celicas. Not unusual cars, sure, but they were identical (silver, GT I think), and parked next to each other at the shopping center. Odd.
