Thoughts?
IS250 RWD manual goes for $33,850 similarly equipped with voice nav, bluetooth, 18" rims and 200 watt, 13-speaker audio.
Engine:
- 2.5-liter V6, four cam, four valves per cylinder, with continuously Variable Valve Timing with intelligence (VVT-i) on intake and exhaust valves
- 204 hp @ 6,400, 185 lb-ft torque [1] @ 4,800 rpm
Acura TSX with 6-speed manual and navi goes for $31,363 with the standard 17" rims, metal trim, and leather-wrapped wheel (I added these to make it more comparable with the Lexus.)
Engine:
- 205-hp, 2.4-liter inline-4, DOHC, i-VTEC® 16-valve engine, peak torque of 164 lbs-ft @ 4500 rpm
-----------
The thing is, the Lexus is RWD vs. the Acura's FWD. Also, the IS250 offers optional AWD while the TSX (though Honda stated AWD would be an option) likely won't see SH-AWD until a major redesign in a few years.
