i like the TSX alot better

is 250
but id much rather have the 350

tsx, my frined has one....very nice

TSX:
2.4 liter Inline 4
Horsepower: 205 hp@ 7000 rpm
Torque: 164 ft-lbs. @ 4500 rpm
Drive Type: FWD
Curb Weight: 3268 lbs.

IS250:
2.5 liter V6
Horsepower: 204 hp @ 6400 rpm
Torque: 185 ft-lbs. @ 4800 rpm
Drive Type: RWD
Curb Weight: 3455 lbs.

Its really a tough call from those numbers, on one hand you have a RWD V6 with more torque, but on the other hand you have a lighter FWD car. I'd have to say based on all that I'd have to give it up and pick strictly on looks, and the Lexus wins hands down in that category, in my opinion.

pics of IS350 but since its the same thing as 250 (body wise, all interchangable) I would go lexus 200% for sure, nicest looking new ar to come out in a LONG time

after a net lashing from dave


i was thinking about the TSX was the TL , and i love the TL


im not a big fan of the tsx

The Is250 is a sweet car.Id def take it over the tsx.I think the tsx is ugly,esp the rear end.I think its hideous looking.

The IS250 also brings in an awd option along with the rwd option.

I'd say it's close (sure beats the posts that ask us which they should choose between a truck and sport compact)..

If I were to choose I'd take the IS250 (and I drive an Acura) the only reasons I see to not take the IS250 are:
- you really want the navi (which is what makes the prices about the same) the navi on the TSX is very cool and if you really want it is a perfectly good enough reason to choose it over the IS
- you've got reservations about a first model year car, some people refuse to buy a first model year car. I don't see a problem with it (my RSX-S is a first model year car)
- the RWD is a big plus to me and most of the people here, it might not be for you and if it isn't then the IS loses most of it's advantage, you might also have reservations about a RWD car if you live where you get a lot of snow (esp if you don't want to get winter tires)

They're both really nice cars and you really could do a lot worse than either one but if I were to choose I'd take the IS250.

When modded the TSX looks tits, but out of the gate looks wise the Lexus wins.

That is effing hot!!!

I would take the is250 over the TSX. It just looks like a better looking vehicle from factory.

Have a good one,
