Initial likes & dislikes:
Likes:
-5-door lift-back layout (good compromise between 2-dr coupe & traditional sedan)
-6-speed manual transmission
-Entry price point
-Future trims/models (i.e., Type-S)
Dislikes:
-Uninspiring/generic taillight design (more CLA or Genesis Coupe than Honda/Acura)
-Shape is not as sleek as many people's memory of an Integra silhouette
-Front-end, while not bad looking, echoes the corporate Acura face; some more Integra-specific DNA wouldn't have hurt.
Neutral:
-Civic underpinnings (this one isn't terribly surprising considering the ILX, RSX, which itself was a rebranded 4th-gen Integra, and previous generation Integras, all were closely related to equivalent Civics at the time); makes sense for the price point, but it also would've been cool to see Integra go upmarket slightly.
