First, I'd like to say that I absolutely love my 2005 Acura TL 5-Speed Automatic w/ Navigation, but could the 2006 Lexus IS350, which is coming out in Fall 2005, give the 3rd generation TL some trouble? The 2006 Lexus IS350 will have the 2GR-FE 3.5L V6 which puts out 280 hp and 260 lb/ft of torque. Also, Full-Time All-Wheel Drive will be an option! Competition is closing in.

( Hopefully the parents will be generous again next December when the 2006 Lexus IS350 comes out?! )
