2013 Acura ILX - A Resurrected Integra?
2013 Acura ILX - Four Seasons Introduction - October 2012 - Automobile Magazine
Starting a 12-month stint with the 201-hp Acura ILX.

Acura's tagline for its new ILX, "move forward, without settling down," speaks to a market of young professionals that wants its first taste of a luxury brand. The entry-level ILX can be had with either a 2.0-liter engine or a hybrid powertrain for under $30,000. Those two should satisfy a majority of buyers, but what about that rare breed of youthful enthusiasts who wear Pilotis with their suits and ties? Acura didn't forget about them and is also offering its handsome ILX with the engine and transmission from a Honda Civic Si. Sounds great, right? We agree, which is why we ordered a 2.4-liter ILX for a Four Seasons test.

First Drive: 2013 McLaren 12C Spider - Automobile Magazine
Enter the folding-roof coupe.

The McLaren 12C has a secret: The coupe's roof is little more than an aluminum-and-glass toupee that's been Krazy-glued in place with scant concern for structural rigidity. Put another way, the new 12C Spider is essentially as stiff as the fixed-roof car -- without any additional bracing.
