... The Interior though was a HUGE dissapointment. I know this is an entry level model but everything felt very cheap and of course there was some similarities with the Civic in its interior.
Its interesting that you say that. What I like about the ILX are the interior shapes... I think they got much of the center stack, instrumentation, and even the seat forms right. What I really would have loved to see would be to step outside of the standard expectations for luxury and design the interior accenting with a super premium cloth combination like a non-shiny poly patterned weave and Alcantara (similar to combinations used by Porsche and BMW) and no aluma-look plastics. I know its a risk... but I really wanted something unexpected from the ILX. I know they'll have a cloth interior. I have seen pics and it wasn't that unexpected happy surprise I wanted.
