03' Lexus IS300 - 5spd manual, 34k immaculate cond.

Lexus is certainly the more mature, luxurious car. I think it's perhaps a tick off the Honda in performance numbers. But then again you don't need to have the motor between 6k and 8k rpm's to be making good power, either. Not to mention, both seem to have more handling ability than can easily be pushed on public roads anyhow...
Anyone have substantial seat-time in both of these?
I know a MSP3 can get into this mix, too. But at the moment I'm just looking for thoughts on this comparison.
Thanks
