We walked around the Chicago show at the end of the day to take a few more photos of cars which caught our eye… including the new Civic-by-Acura, the ILX.

- Brendan Duddy soon we'll see lawyers advertising big payout$ after getting injured by a 'rogue' vehicle
- Zerofoo @VoGhost - The earth is in a 12,000 year long warming cycle. Before that most of North America was covered by a glacier 2 miles thick in some places. Where did that glacier go? Industrial CO2 emissions didn't cause the melt. Climate change frauds have done a masterful job correlating .04% of our atmosphere with a 12,000 year warming trend and then blaming human industrial activity for something that long predates those human activities. Human caused climate change is a lie.
- Probert They already have hybrids, but these won't ever be them as they are built on the modular E-GMP skateboard.
- Justin You guys still looking for that sportbak? I just saw one on the Facebook marketplace in Arizona
- 28-Cars-Later I cannot remember what happens now, but there are whiteblocks in this period which develop a "tick" like sound which indicates they are toast (maybe head gasket?). Ten or so years ago I looked at an '03 or '04 S60 (I forget why) and I brought my Volvo indy along to tell me if it was worth my time - it ticked and that's when I learned this. This XC90 is probably worth about $300 as it sits, not kidding, and it will cost you conservatively $2500 for an engine swap (all the ones I see on car-part.com have north of 130K miles starting at $1,100 and that's not including freight to a shop, shop labor, other internals to do such as timing belt while engine out etc).

The front 1/4 of the ILX looks like my E90 3-series. I hate the rear quarter though. The line doesn't work right. The Accord Coupe...wow. Looks spectacular, and a great color. It looks seriously aggressive.
It competes with Ford Focus and Elantra so they have price it accordingly.
