What do you think Acura can possible do to save this disaster? What do you think happened at the boardroom?

I don't think it'll matter as, at the end of the day, they're working within a budget for an expected sales volume (
https://www.goodcarbadcar.net/acura-ilx-sales-figures/) and this thing is still going to sell in healthy volumes regardless of the feelings of enthusiasts.
In any case I think the anger/disappointment will get better for 2 reasons:
1. It's going to drive great. If the current Civic is any indication this thing will be a nice drive even in base trim.
2. The Type-S will drive even better and it's the one the enthusiasts want anyways.
Weren't Integra fans up in arms when the RSX was replaced by the TSX?
