Lexus wouldn't be happy about this statement. They are also moving towards sportiness with luxury. The GS has been targeting the 5 series and the recent LS is more sporty (relative to previous versions). It might be just a matter of time when they will compete hard in handling department. The engine options and size are already in that region. It will be done without loss of reliability as with a Lexus.
I drove the first generation IS a lot which was more sportier than a 3 series. The balance with luxury and comfort was lacking.
