I guess if you love the soft/disconnected ride and lack of steering feedback, the IS is the better car.
I agree with the 3-series being the better "driver's car." However, even priced equally, I'd take my TSX due to piece of mind. My bother's E46 325i is in the shop regularly as opposed to my TSX that hasn't even been to the dealer for a single problem.

However, the TSX is priced in such a way that it appeals to consumers looking for luxury and performance at a bargain. There's no denying that the TSX is a great deal at it's current price. However, it doesn't really compete in terms of overall driving excellence with the 3-series or the IS250/350.
The TSX is a cool car, and it's pretty quick, but let's face it... anyone who goes out with the sole intention of getting the best sports sedan in the class without regards for money will get something other than the TSX.
