Acura ILX
Base price: $27,945-330,245
Body type: Sedan
Unchanged The ILX enters 2015 without the hybrid
powertrain, but the 2.0L four-cylinder 5A model is still joined by a
six-speed-manual-only 2.4L four-cylinder. The ILX received a few updates for
2014, including a standard multi-angle rearview camera, leather seats, and
17-inch wheels. Don't be surprised to see a refreshed model for 2016, possibly
with available LED headlights to match the new TLX’s.
Avoid Wearing big hairdos, since there isn't much
headroom.

Acura NSX (2016)
Base price: $140,000*
Body type: Coupe
All-new It won't be exactly the same as the 1991 car,
but the spirit will remain. The twin-turbo two-seater will be fitted with a
mid-mounted V-6 spinning the rear wheels with help from three electric motors:
one coupled to the seven-speed, twin-clutch automatic transmission, and one
powering each front wheel. Acura describes the NSX as an "experimental
interpretation of what a sports car should be."
Look For The sexy NSX concept in Gran Turismo 6.

Acura RLX
Base price: $50,000-$60,000*
Body type: Sedan
Minor The hybrid model is a gem, boasting Acura
firsts such as a dual-clutch transmission, an electronic gear selector, a
head-up display, and a variable accelerator pedal that replaces the conventional
spring mechanism with an electric one. This could help on a snowy hill, where
pedal-force will increase to discourage you from applying too much engine
torque, potentially leading to tire slip.
Cool Fact The RLX Hybrid is the most powerful sedan
ever built by Acura.
