Are you a young car buyer that is searching for a car? Do you want a luxury brand but can't find out to fit your price and lifestyle? Well Honda has heard you loud and clear when they released the Acura ILX concept. Honda took a look of everything that makes up that generation and has piled it all into the ILX concept. We at Streater-Smith Honda hope that the release comes in the near future.

There are many things that make this Acura concept remarkable and one of them would have to be the hybrid powertrain. With much of the younger crowd being very eco-conscious, Honda felt that a hybrid powertrain would be right up their ally. This would be Acura's first hybrid vehicle and some say that the ILX Concept represents the dawning of a new era for the brand. And for the people that want the power and roar of a gasoline engine, Honda will be offering two versions of a gasoline engine.

Beneath the hood of the standard Concept lays a healthy 2-liter, 4-cylinder engine. The range-topping Acura ILX Concept, on the other hand,  features  an even more robust 2.4-liter, 4-cylinder engine - perfect for even the pickiest performance -minded drivers, especially when mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission.

The look of the Acura ILX Concept is one that will set it apart from the others. With so much aggressive design language saturating the market today, Honda went with a refined and understated look which not only will be a head turner now, but still will for years to come.

What else? Well, of course, we saved the most far-out feature of the Acura ILX Concept for last. Thanks to the integration of text-messaging capabilities as well as Pandora Internet Radio streaming, the hip luxury options offers premium entertainment and in-car connectivity.

Sound good? Be sure to stay tuned to the Streater-Smith Honda blog to learn even more, including an ETA of when the Acura ILX Concept can be expected to hit production and more importantly showrooms (i.e., ours at 311 Interstate 45 S Conroe, TX 77301).
