Los Angeles 2014: Honda HR-V, Acura ILX To Bow On The Red Carpet
Coming soon to an automotive red carpet near you: Honda’s new HR-V and Acura’s 2016 ILX.
The former, seen only in photos when announced in New York earlier this year, will be making its North American debut at the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show. The Fit-based crossover is expected to serve “as the entry point to the Honda light truck lineup,” consisting of the Ridgeline, Pilot and CR-V. The HR-V will take the stage sometime after 12:30 p.m. Pacific November 19.
Over at Acura, the Civic-based ILX will be debuting its new look for 2016, with the aim of firming up its appeal with customers in the entry-level premium market. The updates include a “more forceful, sporty exterior,” an unknown-yet-powerful powertrain, and new interior design. The sedan will roll up to the world’s stage at 9:30 a.m. Pacific November 20.

If the HR-V can be had with a proper clutch pedal, I might have a look. I somehow doubt that. On the off chance it happens, the pricing needs to start below $20k, or folks will just buy a CR-V.
"The former [HR-V], seen only in photos when announced in New York earlier this year, will be making its North American debut at the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show." The Honda Vezel is the HR-V, and it was shown in Tokyo in Nov 2013. So get with the program!
