I considered the IS300 myself because I really like the way they look and because they are RWD. However, they are heavy and don't get great gas mileage. I think the TSX is ultimately a better choice.
IS300 and TSX both weigh about the same and have similar dimensions. The IS300 vs TSX in stock trim I'd say would take a TSX at the autox. They grip the road like a mad man...
Start modding though and its anyones game.
