When will the Acura ILX be released? Rumors going around say the ILX should be available by Summer 2012,

summer 2012 sounds just about right.
acura has very little information on the ILX on their website, i bet if it was to release any time earlier they would of released more information.

any mention of the Acura ILX Type S release?

Should hit around 3rd to 4th QR but 4th quater would be extremly late. i see a mid 3rd qr release just intime for a mid summer purchase and a before school purchase!

3rd to 4th is kinda late, maybe for a Type S model it will be then but for the base model and the announced trim levels....they should be out by mid-late spring (according from a reliable source)

Speaking about the Type S ILX, Acura hasn't mentioned anything close to a Type S model, for now it's only been the Hybrid, 2.0 and 2.4L models. I won't expect to hear anything about Type S model until late 2012 - early 2013 and it's release by mid 2013 (my guess)

Just before the Detroit show, I read a few articles that suggested May/June time-frame. As for a Type-S version, that would be the 2.4L

May/June seems about right especially with the production models open to the public at auto shows. My Acura dealerships says pre-orders should start sometime soon.

The 2.4 6 speed model is sporty enough to be a type s. What they need to do is come out with a coupe version with the 2.4 6 speed with larger brakes and a aero package. Maybe sportier interior.

Will the 6 speed be a LSD transmission?

The suspension system stays the same on all 3 ILX models and having sporty model with a tuned engine that puts out 20-30 more HP, upgraded suspension, brakes, interior, wheels and aero kit would do this car very well.

The type S prob uses the same suspension thats fitted int he civic SI on the 9th gen

i heard there won't be a type-s model or r-spec model, it was mentioned in a ILX review.

Maybe, it would make sense looking at it at cost for a manufacture but the base model ILX has the same starting price as a Si Sedan so a Type S is going to cost much more than an Si, $7000 at least, $10k at most. Since Acura is going into a different direction here with making the ILX different from the Civic I have reason to believe the Type S will have a better suspension setup than a Si.
