Acura ILX 
Although the Acura ILX shares its platform with the latest-generation Honda Civic, it remains a unique car just the same. The ILX is the only compact luxury sedan that has an eight-speed, twin-clutch automatic gearbox. The sole engine available is a 2.4L naturally aspirated four cylinder that develops 201 horsepower and 180 lb·ft of torque. The A-Spec version offers 18-inch wheels, aerodynamic add-ons and sport seats.
