If only the four. The IS hands down. When considering after the sale you will have to maintain the car. Like others have said only the A4 and the IS are in current production. Test drive and take your time. At the end of the day it will be up to you.

Thanks for the responses guys. I never got a clear answer for why the IS over the HS though; the IS is a little more, not to mention the additional fuel costs. Is it just because the HS was discontinued? Thank you

The bottom line is YOU have to live with whatever car you get. So you should get what you prefer, not what we all prefer.

Fuel, you can use 87 instead of 93. (In a tsx, its been proven that you get better mpg on 87 than 93 in the acurazine forums hence why most people ignore the manuals recommendations. Cant be said the same here for the IS)Cheaper insurance, better interior options (in my opinion), and more comfortable than the IS in front and back seat. And actually holds its value pretty well. The IS is far more sportier, and handles a lot better than the tsx but you dont really notice it till your in spirited driving or on track
Out of all 4 of those cars, coming from a current lexus/Former honda/acura owner I would go TSX first, then IS250 (If i was to do it again, i would have gotten the TSX even though I absolutely love my IS250), then HS250 (but I would actually own a Prius before an HS250, if you go hybrid, dont stop and half way), and if you really DONT like your money, get an audi A4(anybody and everybody will tell you don't own an audi out of warranty).
