Most of the people here have no interest in FWD cars. The TL is cool but not as sporting as an IS or G35.

but sick is right, if you look at the values, yes the TL is good for comparison. but to me the lack of rwd is indeed a problem for me

Hehe. The TL does shine in comparison to the ES but they do have two different clientel. I was once a mod for the ES forums. It was fun, but there's more fun in the IS category.

Ha ha ha! We know it's not sporting though. And I hope no one thinks the ES is a sports sedan, no matter what Lexus tells us through marketing.
I'm international baby
Having had an IS and an ES, this is so true it' s not even funny.

Why, YES, the ES is the perfect "sports" sedan.....when you got a REAL sore fanny and back from too much hard-hitting SPORTS like football and you want a nice smooth, cushy ride home. Ha Ha.

Lexus brought over a true sports sedan in the IS instead of trying to save money by making a sporty ES 330. Nissan tried that crap with the I30/I35 and got terrible results. SO they made the G35 a true sports sedan,
Honda is a small auto company and insists on efficiency so they stayed with an Accord platform. I think they have done wonders this time making the TL out of the Accord. But whereas the Toyota and Nissan has 2 different cars, Honda has to compromise with the TL.

As much as I like the IS300...just like you do..... the fact is, though, that the the new AWD G35 is one-upping it by offering a feature that Lexus should have offered by now for the IS and has not yet...All Wheel Drive. We WILL see AWD very shortly, though, on the next GS.
