If similarly priced and specced, the only reason left you need to ask yourself is, does interior space matter alot to you?

Because if you are more into performance, the Lexus is definitely the much better choice. I also feel that the new design has much more character than the old IS (better looking than the new 3 in my opinion). But the B-class is in a class by itself at the moment. It is roomy inside yet very easy to park & navigate crowded roads. It doesn't look very striking at first, but for me, this is the type that grows slowly. Plus, as the B-class has more practical features, I think it can stay longer in your garage over time.

I was initially looking at the new 3-series and the A4 Wagon but the B-Class' comfort, space, and "coolness" factor won me over it.

But either way, I think both are good cars :)
