IS drives like PS2. You feel like you are playing a video game, not actually driving.

Default Yes, that's true. Though its not a bad sedan, drove one at the Lexus event in NY few weeks ago.
Interior materials are very comparable to Audi, soft supple leather, high quality materials, fit and finish. Touch screen NAV, sporty drive.

Default Yeah It is like couch on wheels.
While it might be comfy to some,it is totally boring to me.
Reliability wise, Lexus leaves Audi in teh dust

Default How is that cheaper to maintain? Timing belt for it is $840 labour & $630 in parts, plus extras.
TSX hatch with RDX turbo and AWD = new RSX.

True, but I just don't feel it. I did want an older IS300 for the longest time tho.
