Acura ILX Concept ushers in era of entry-level luxury

It's no secret that Acura has had a rough couple of years.

And then things went south with a fury that sent the automaker reeling into regroup mode. The brand's stumbling blocks were many and diverse – from the styling of the redesigned 2009 TL and TSX, which we'll charitably describe as divisive, to the scrapped plans for a V8-powered rear-wheel-drive RL replacement – but the net result was a precipitous drop in sales.
