Top 10 Cars Americans Aren’t Buying

4. Acura ILX

Acura’s experiment into an entry-level luxury sedan has been strange. Introduced last year, sales of the ILX were poor to start and criticism was heavy. The car takes average of 142 days to sell, though the ILX has actually seen its sales improve in 2013.

So far this year, 13,907 ILX vehicles have been sold, up from over 4,000 in the first eight months of 2012. The ILX can be had with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine (150 hp, 140 lb-ft of torque) or a 2.4-liter four-cylinder (manual only with 201 hp, 170 lb-ft of torque) or in Hybrid form. The Hybrid model is good for 39 MPG in the city and 38 MPG on the highway, while the automatic ILX nets 24 MPG city, 35 MPG highway. The more powerful 2.4-liter available with a six-speed manual only gets 22 MPG city, 31 MPG highway.

The sedan has a starting price of $27,795.
