I guess the big thing is to determine if it's enough of a difference to you to pay for the premium for the new car and the hit for unloading the old one.
It's going to be better but usually every new similar car is for the most part. Your current car is pretty new and I'm sure does the job just as well and it's not even old or doesn't look old at all.

this is the 4banger thus it has the 8spd tranny (ie. the NON issue one right now), the other is making me sick with work lol...fawk. this dct is USA built and decent. just make sure if you buy you bring it in for any software updates req'd. at least it's not CVT 
it's a nice car but not the *most* exciting...but it does the job very well...drive one for a week. um $50k? is it? i guess cos it's the tech pack one. but hey any other make/model similar with all the trimmings im sure is similar priced.
the 4cyl moves decent as honda places the power band much lower/mid-range now (same as the '15 Accord 2.4 4cyl im driving now), honestly it's great for daily. 206hp with 182 trq is decent given the weight of the car. also on the hwy after 110kmh is where it starts to noticeably weaken. the 6cyl is very smooth, more than enough.
i *think* this 4cyl you can get away with 87oct...but not sure.
i know from info here that acura has no (current) plans to build any manual trannies...rumour is a 2dr coupe TLX will come out though.
but hey, see BMW...info i saw on them shows them cutting down their manual trannies A LOT for Canada....csi just started crying, lulz. all paddle soon, i assume it's all series 3,4,5,6,7...hopefully the 3 series gets a manual.

50k, i'd rather buy an s3, or a5 if you can swing 2 doors... or golf r...or mustang gt, or IS350, or, focus st/rs, or a bazillion other things. I didn't realize the ILX can get to 50k.
I would put bimmers in my list too--except I drove the new ones, and they suck XD

206hp with 182 trq is decent given the weight of the car. also on the hwy after 110kmh is where it starts to noticeably weaken. LOL YOU HONDA APOLOGIST! the tranny is good, but get it flashed as soon as you can. the power is great, except above 110 it hits a wall. 50k is reasonable. it has 200hp doe. WHAT?! WHAT WHAT WHAT?! XD XD XD dat corporate koolaide doe. don't drink too much XD
 - not apologist, just speaking the truth doe. it has it's ups, but it's downs too. plus you guys got all your facts incorrect above lol...get that right first! 
the software updates thing i just know is becoming more common, not just in honda but all makes/models across the board brah....but you wouldnt know that 
it's $43k tax in, no? that's NOT 50k lol...who the fuck would even pay that, i agree.
like zc said above, with acura (honda?) they're always a bit down on power vs. competitor but you get a ton of options INCLUDED unlike other brands. (kinda like the koreans do it )

Ups and downs? Wtf lol
Honda has been on a study decline both quality and reliability wise. There is NO disputing this. Thanks to customers like titty they are keeping Honda afloat with garbage after garbage. I understand you work for them and as a loyal employee you feel the need to defend the inferior product that they produce, however it's time to take the blindfolds off...

Nothing was mentioned about power, or value adds.
There is no value add or power in my eyes, for that car--especially at 50k @____@
Would rather buy an IS.
V6 vs I4
300hp vs 200hp
rwd vs fwd
same price doe! SUCH VALUE! WOW ACURA!!!!!!

Get a slightly used 2014 IS350 for less than $50k. I hate paying freight & pdi for new cars. $$$ down the drain.

I am with 4age on this one, wow value @.@
I feel bad for screamin', he is trying to stand up for the brand and they keep shoving sh!t down his throat that's hard to justify. At least he is still trying, he deserves employee of the month just for dealing with this forum alone (hatorade in particular) XD

overall quality still good
Honda Drops Sales Goals to Focus on Quality:
The automaker initially set a seemingly attainable goal of six million vehicles sold annually by 2017, however chief executive Takanobu Ito now wants workers to focus solely on restoring quality, rather than expanding sales volume, according to a Bloomberg report.
so quality wow good I'm with Vas doe. employee of the century right here 
lol, yes i know of that article already, and it's true which is good...push push push sales/timelines and quality will suffer. get too big for your own good (Toyota!) and shit goes south fast.
it's easy to just say 'oh all shit quality now' but the bread and butter cars still doing fine. i know all the issues of every single model in the line up but can't speak to them...(too many haha)  - if anyone SHOULD be saying how "shit they are" it's me, lol!

Titty, what goes through your mind when you spec out a TLX and the price reaches 48k and you still want it? XD don't ask me, i never said it wasn't a rip...i was just speaking to the fact that the ACTUAL price of the car is not near 48K. he's adding access's which are pricey. ask the OP - even im surprised how pricey it became.
That wasn't directed to you......
