90% percent of the video is her talking and all I can see is the steering wheel. The other 10% is that pointless wheel camera thing.

It already looks dated.. Where's the design?!!?

[edwardtypes]

Sorry Jessie you are hot but really boring

[gaivoron]

yes but she is hot!

She kept referring to the drivetrain as the transmission. The 2.0 auto and the 2.4 6MT and the "hybrid"...a hybrid isn't necessarily a transmission but it may encompass a transmission that is neither the 6AT or the 6MT.

BORING. A honda civic dressed in a tuxedo.

[PumpUPdaBase]

the car is too expensive... :/

The 2013 ILX hybrid doesn't have an Atkinson cycle engine like other full hybrids like the 2013 Accord hybrid, that's why it's only rated at around 39MPG combined. Honda/Acura, Earth Dreams engines would be nice to have across the Acura and Hona lineup. It'll have Atkinson cycle and OTTO cycle combined in one engine, where in the case of a high load the engine will be in OTTO cycle mode and when you are driving economically, the engine will be in Atkinson cycle mode, so hybrid like MPG
