Acura ILX to go Turbo?

Pretty interesting article but the major downer is that Acura will prob still stick to no manual cars. Perhaps that might change if they will throw a Type S badge on it, but according to the article that would be a few years away.

Is it me or does it feel like Honda is a bit too late on all these goodies?

Nothing official yet. Tyical rumors trying to stir the pot.

Yep, to me if Honda does not deliver a type R or something turbo'ed and 6 speed soon, their customer base will be moving along to other things.

I would of been in a Focus ST with Recaros and Navi right now if I could get $2000 knocked of the price from a local dealership.

Dang really? I want to see that new RS they will be coming out with. But I will probably test drive about 5 cars before making a decision my next time around (a year or so)

Yeah man.....pretty much for the price of a used 2014 Si I could get a brand new Focus ST with all the bells ad whistles. I'm trying anyways......

Haven't test driven yet....I liked the Fiesta ST a lot, pretty sure I will like the Focus ST as well. I kinda got the feeling they didn't want me to test drive after I mentioned about lowering the price.

According to Matt Farah the Fiesta ST is the performance bargain.
