Again, those figures do not make sense.
From this thread: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=297721
TOTAL Lexus sales for July 2007 were 27,141 while TOTAL Acura sales for July 2007 were 14,381. Looking at your figures, you compared Lexus car sales to TOTAL Acura sales. Completely unfair comparison. If you were trying to show that Acura can match Lexus sales, it's a losing argument.
And again you're incorrect about Lexus versus Acura incentives. Lexus has some of the lowest incentives in the industry, lower than Acura. Acura has a no-charge navigation upgrade incentive currently going on for it's TL. Lexus does not offer anything like that, even for it's older models.

So the TSX is not on par? Really, this convo is turning into chaos. So compare the TSX to the IS250, those cars are pretty much the same, minus the drivetrain. Your turbo request was answered with the 4 cyl 2.3L Turbo currently in the Acura RDX, that is now being worked on by HASport. Honda motors are underpowered from the factory, most car enthusiasts already know that.
What does a turbocharged RDX have to do with a TSX?
Im looking for a sports sedan, not an SUV. I dont care if its turbocharged or not. Im looking for the power. Thats the same as saying get an MDX because it has a 6 cylinder, if having 2 more cylinders is really whats important to you.
The IS is available with more power than the TSX in its lowest form. And if you want more power its there and from the factory. Acura has had 7 years to offer more power and so far they have only come up with 5 hp. The TSX also lacks and AWD option.
Also keep in mind that the IS250 was created after the IS300 to strengthen the gap between the 250 and the 350. The IS300 debuted at the same time as the TSX and with considerably more power and more options.
