I dont know which TL you are talking about but I have the is250 and my dad the TL(previous gen). TL is definitely MUCH larger than the IS and feels a lot heavier. I think the TSX is better to compare with the IS!

I'm 6"5 and I fit much better in the front seats of RWD vehicles than FWD ones. This is due to the packaging differences.

The TL is a bigger car dimensions wise and has a much larger backseat.

a gs350 will probably suit you better then the is350.....stay with lexus or even a g35/37 sedan if you need that extra room but please...stay away from acura...they are ugly

You maybe right about this when looking at the new TSX but not so much with the first gen TSX. However a better comparison maybe given with the TL, A4, BMW 3 series, and the MB C-Class.

Stay away from the 335! They are having SERIOUS problems. They will be replacing the engine next year to try and salvage their reputation.

I'd choose previous gen TL-S on looks but IS350 on performance. Previous gen TL-S looks incredible but it's a FWD which I hate.

I am driving a 09 TL for a loaner, i do like the car alot but when i compare it to a lexus, well......there is no comparison. The acura drives very well but the interior is a little cheap and the exterior is too bulky. It has 280 hp and still a second slower than the 350. But the roominess is FANTASTIC.
