Inventory Adjustments Drop Acura's ILX Production To Only 91 Units Last Month

The Honda Motor Co. plant in Greensburg, Ind., built just 91 units of the nearly new Acura ILX entry-luxury sedan in March. This came after a couple of previous slower months.

American Honda executives have admitted the ILX has not had the strongest launch. They acknowledge that the base 2.0-liter engine is a bit underpowered, and only offering a stick shift on the improved 2.4-liter engine has deterred shoppers.

Still, once the ILX got its balance, the car has run near a pretty steady 2,000 sales a month, a bit shy of its projected sales rate. Inventories are a little high, about 90 days. But neither result is anything to cry over for a new entry still finding its way.

Why buy an overpriced Civic when you can get a loaded Accord for the same price, if not less?

@HughJass better watch all those Honda fans will rate you down. Last time a story ran on Autospies about this car I point out the WEAK engine HP for the base model 150HP. That is AWFUL, just terrible for a PREMIUM level car and what you are paying for this. A car at this cost should be around or just over 240 HP MINIMUM. Why pay for this car and the 150HP when you can drive a Honda Accord V6 for same amount or slightly more. It's boring too.
