I love Lexus, but the G70 wins all day. The Acura doesn't have enough power. The G70 has the best warranty! The Lexus' interior is not awe-inspiring. I don't care about resale value or else I'd get a used G70 that would be cheaper than both of these cars and probably still be under warranty.

Soooo....The 2.0 turbo in the Acura doesn’t feel special and is just like a Honda......but the 2.0 in the genesis is great and so good you don’t need the turbo v6....? In spite of having less power than the Acura.....?? Ooooooooooooookay.

Major update? Bro the IS the same car its been forever.

I just purchased the 2023 Genesis 3.3T G70. Don't know about the Lexus and Acura, but I love my Genesis. Best car I've ever owned!

Test drove all these. I’m going to the dealership tomorrow. We loved the is350 f sport. It’s just an amazing car and the sound deadening from the outside is crazy! Like you’re in a cabin that doesn’t hear road noise or rattles. That car is just amazing in every way.

I recently purchased a 2022 Lexus IS 300 this car is absolutely amazing.

G70 wins for sure, with the TLX Type S second - The IS350 is SO slow and the infotainment is ancient.

I love the IS but everyone and their grandparents have one plus the interior just looks generic to me(maybe because I’ve been in so many?). Went with the TLX A-Spec instead. Love the exterior and interior, and really just wanted a well rounded sports sedan with good mileage that I wouldn’t have gotten with a V6. I’m always on the road with 2 toddlers so I’m never going to be racing anyone lol

If you don't plan on selling, the Genesis is the #1

How in the heck did the IS get the number one spot when the GV70 and TLX are way better cars? The IS is extremely dated and lacking on the interior compared to the other two. Also have you driven a TLX SH-AWD and an Accord 2.0T? They do not feel or drive anything alike. You can tell the Acura is a luxury vehicle. It should have been G70 first TLX second IS third.

I bought a 2011 Genesis 4.6 in September of 2010 ( I still have it to this day) and after owning a 2007 BMW 545 ( money pit ) I love the Genesis. It has 99,000 miles on it and the only thing that’s been replaced is the alternator about 5 years ago. I am going to check out the GV models . We also have a 2016 Accord Touring and it’s been a good car but not a solid as the Genesis. The Genesis still drives like the day I got it.

I’ve test drove all of them and will be buying one soon. I’d pick the Genesis first followed by the Acura and the Lexus coming in last.

Can you do same for 22 Lexus ES 350 vs new Genesis G80?

very good comparison.

It would be great to see a comparison of mid size AWD sedans (Camry, Altima, Subaru and K5 AWD variants)

so the TLX 2.0T feels ordinary like its out of a Accord but the 2.0T in the G70 with less power is a great drive train? Isnt it pretty much same as the the 2.0T Sonata?

none of the g70s in north america have the full digital gauge cluster. left side is analogue with middle and left being digital. the gv70 and g80 both have the full digital cluster (at least in some trims). sort of makes me think you have not driven the car as it is super obvious if you have driven one.

TLX Type S vs G70

I could be wrong but I’m pretty sure there is not a full digital gauge cluster on the g70

This guy don’t know about interior how is the Lexus has the best interior, it’s genesis , Acura then Lexus

Love the G70! But it doesn't have a FULL digital display. It's a partial digital display.

Tlx type s is a whole new beast

Always lexus is most elegant and reliable car.. Specialy is 300 4 cylinder turbo... U drive laxury car and economical car for know days.......

I can definitely see Genesis is coming up. Maybe I will consider owning one if keep up the good work for 5 years.

Your Reasons and points of views are accurate to me, thank you , I agree with you on all angles, i appreciate your honesty. Your reviews are own point. You definitely put out what’s important in the business.

I am gong to buy a 2023 G70.

Looking at all three but Lexus gets the nod for me love the IS 350 f sport!!!!!!

So to this guy The back seat of the g70 is a deal breaker over replacing expensive tires every 30ovmiles 😂😂😂😂

You lost me when you put the acura 3rd

This review is pretty bad! The Acura TLX was built on its own platform, not on a Accord base (uniformed), the TLX is light years ahead of the Lexus. The Genesis is a new brand but again has better interior & exterior design than the Lexus all around. The warranty & safety features on the Genesis blow the Lexus out of the water. The Lexus is old, dated & your assessment of the TLX trackpad is bias because Lexus is worse. If you are gonna review vehicles you need to provide objectivity in your review. You are obviously a fan boy new to the game. First & second place should have been between the Genesis & Acura! Sorry not sorry !

Liked the comparison because of juice wrld @ 2:06 :)

I can agree with this order and IMO it's a very close comparison. Each car has a slightly different personality, the Lexus more towards luxury, the Acura more sporty, and the Genesis is perfectly in the middle. I plan to replace my Stinger GT1 with the IS500.

By default TLX is out. FWD is a no-go unless the comparison is based on practicality reasons. But for a driver it's the awesome proven G70 or the purist IS.

Excellent review. Agree with your assessment 💯

Which one number one ?

I agree w the ranking

I’ll take the Lexus all day long as it will last forever 😊

IMHO, the G70 is every bit as good as the Lexus IS in terms of quality and near reliability. It also comes with a more advanced and powerful turbo V6 engine. That being said, the IS500 (AND ONLY THE IS500) is def. the more desirable one in my book with its irresistible V8. Don't really care for the Acura, nor is it near the other two in terms of quality. It's also not a "REAL" sports sedan as it rides on a FWD platform, and ITS NOT A REAL JAPANESE PRODUCT. The G70 and the IS are proudly built 100% in their country of origin.

This is a REALLY instructional video with REALLY cool images and REALLY useful comparisons. When we REALLY learn English we ditch REALLY from our vocabulary. 😅

You really need to compare all three in top trim and engine choices. While you did a pretty good quick down and dirty review...as a car pro, I can tell the difference well for the TLX over the Accord. Acura did not blueprint the Accord. All three cars are nice choices...but go apples to apples and then compare again. Compare actual performance with value, resale, desirability, historical lineage, and longevity....then come see us with a new video. You will see a difference.

You lost me when you said Lexus's interior looks good hahah

Out of these I would get the Acura it just looks soo nice and aggressive although the g70 really draws my attention too the IS is good but the interior is just too old for a 2021 car

One problem with this video. The tlx is not the entry level Acura, the ilx is. This car is the gs or es competition.

Lexus fan boy for sure. Major update on the lexus 🤣 its literally the same car with a refresh and a touch screen. You complain about the acura trac pad when lexua trac pad is worst.

You just wasted 9 minutes of my time. Totally bad comparison. The information is out of wack the reasoning is out of this world. The details does not connect, totally irrelevant. This happens when an computer guy reads a spreadsheet and make a video out of it. Please stop making videos like this or do some research first. Or perhaps start driving rather than sitting in front of your laptop and say Oh i have an idea lets make a video comparison! Lets see acura hmmm, lexus hmmm genesis, ok lexus wins based on what ive read. Done!

For me it was between the tlx and g70. Ended up with the tlx because I got a better lease deal. Love both cars they’re reliable fast and beautiful cars.

You know this isn't a car guy when he says you don't need the more powerful engine in the G70... GTFO with that.

I KHOW G70 MADE BY KIA AND HUINDAI WHICH BOOTH GURBAGE

That IS is insultingly old, same engine and ancient transmission. Lexus needs to step up their game and actually update the IS if they want to be competitive.

IS > TLX > G70

Good day Shari, the Lexus by far better car in every way. I had the first generation for 9 years and it was great car but it was also a step above an average car because of the 2JZ engine. The 3rd generation captured what 2nd generation missed the mark but overall from 2001-2021 Lexus IS have a tremendous solid platform and record. There is absolutely no reason to buy a Acura especially, Acuras lost their heritage from the late 90s and there are so many better choices out there. I had also the Acura 2008 TSX which was OK average at best but Lexus IS on another level.

Boy does the IS fail in 2022. I went to look at a 22 is350 f sport and it felt like 2015 all over again

Lexus back seat small too.

Not once did I hear anything about the Acura TLX Type S…. 3.0 Turbo V6… 355 HP

So you recommend the oldest design with the oldest engine and the least performance as your pick? Lol. The G70 is far superior and the new type S both bury Lexus.

The moment he said the TLX was third, I stopped watching and never will. SMH!!

Acura all day. Can't wait for the type S

IS grill is too damn big

What your pic?

Oh, I get it, this is a commercial for Lexus, no wonder. That has to be the reason, because both the Acura and Genesis are so much better. The minute you said the lexus was feeling fresh. Lmao! They haven't changed that model in like forever!. Have you even been in the car its so outdated. Do us a favor and stay out of the reviewing business if your gonna sell out.

Hard to pass on that Genesis warranty. Lexus has the reputation, but Genesis is walking the walk. I love Lexus, but in that price range, the warranty combined with that beast of a 3.3l twin turbo, I dunno. If you're pure luxury, go with the Lexus for sure, but if the sport part is important to you as well, it's hard to ignore that kinda power at that price.

The Genesis is clearly the better product. Go drive it and compare it to the Lexus. The only reason I'd get the IS is it it had the V8.

Yes as if everyone is gonna get in they’re car and floor it everywhere all the time let’s get real 😂 The Acura wins as far as interior design and SH-AWD Genesis win in technology and warranty & Lexus wins in the exterior design and reliability In the end Toyota vs Honda vs Hyundai 😂😂 ladies it’s just based on opinion in the end don’t break you’re nails over this 💅🏻🔨🤣

Don't get Genesis! Its worse than Lincoln. Go Japanese.

Lexus all the way. Even before watching to the end...

ACURA ALL DAY

I can see why you’d pick the Lexus over the Acura. But Genesis has NO brand recognition outside the car enthusiast. No dealer support because there’s hardly any dealerships. And lastly, they don’t keep the value because they’re Hyundai made. Hyundai has a great warranty but that doesn’t mean they hold up.

🤦🏻

This is a very poor and misguided review. The latest game changing 2022 Genesis G70 is a vastly superior sports sedan compared to the Lexus IS 300 in all categories. The 2022 Genesis G70 has more style, performance and technology than the aging Lexus IS300 platform can muster. The Lexus IS 300 was a great car a few years ago but it's an aging model that is very short on power and performance. As a matter of fact the Lexus should have placed a distant third place for simply being so underpowered for this segment. The Acura in it's own right is a much more modern and capable car than the Lexus. The 2022 Genesis G70 is the new benchmark and tour de force that rivals BMW and easily crushes the Lexus. I thoroughly tested all three of these models and hands down I proclaim the new 2022 Genesis G70 the best of the best in this segment with the also excellent 2021 Acura TLX Type S coming in a close second place and the woefully underpowered 2021 Lexus IS 300 coming in at a distant and slow last place.

That lexus is ugly for me i go with the acura any day

Second

First

The IS has no advantages. Almost all brands have reliability. Other brands have caught up

Nope, not an objective review.

Gv70 easily

G70 or the Giulia. That would be my two choices. The TLX lacks power and frankly the styling isn't catching me. The Acura doesn't scream luxury to me, never has. The Lexus...well that's a womans car, a car for my mom I suppose, lol.

Why is the Q50 not included? It’s the best of the bunch.

G70 1st TLX 2nd IS 3rd How the hell did he come up with IS 1st? It’s literally known in the car industry n car journalists that the IS is way behind in the segment. Lexus been fell off.

TESLA MODEL S PLAID NOTHING COMPARES

I was about to get the g70 but saw the issues the engine has and warranty fine print needs to be read. Lexus looks the same from 10yrs ago.

I think genesis is the best one .
