I pick the Liberty because
A) we don't get the Lexus Atezza
B) it is substantially quicker than the Accord Euro
C) despite 4wd, I think it will handle even better thna the Euro too. Whatever you think of Subaru, they usually get their 4wd ride/handling combo spot on.
The manual Liberty GT has more power than the auto's 180kw. I read somewhere that it is not such a big deal that the manual GT missed out on the Bilsteins, as they make the suspension very stiff, and Subaru Oz decied that they would not cope well with our crap roads. Having said that, why did they specify them for the 3.0B - maybe just for marketing purposes?
Incidentally, the Euro is available as a 4wd in Japan and there are rumours of a 4wd or Fwd turbo model, and they already have a Type R model as well with 160 odd kw. If we had one of these variants here I muighht be tempted to vote Honda. But Honda Oz apparently is becoming boring like Toyota Oz and wants to concentrate on Odysseys and tank 4wd's and is getting rid of the Integtra Type R etc. So I doubt we will get a performance Accord here.
I doubt the the Lexus is "substantially" better built than the other too. Honda and Subaru quality is defintely not shabby, and in any case, the IS200 is not built on the same production facility as the more expensive Lexus as it is sold as a Toyota in Japan in some volume. Not saying that it is built crap, but it wont be in the same class as a LS400 etc.
