Acura ILX 
The 2015 Acura ILX is sitting in for a soon-to-be-released and much revised 2016 edition. For now, this luxury compact still offers three very different drivetrains. A 2.0L 150-hp four-cylinder paired with a five-speed automatic equips Base, Premium and Tech versions, while a 2.4L 201-hp teams up with a six-speed manual in the Dynamic. Finally, a hybrid-electric powertrain based around a 1.5L engine sends 111 horsepower to the front wheels through a CVT in the Hybrid version.
