I think Honda is more taking the VW/Audi strategy to compete with BMW. There is SO much similarities. Both the Accord and Passat are stretched from their luxury nameplate siblings. The Accord and Passat carries a rounder theme then the angular styling of the TSX and A4. The Passat and A4 carries near identical interior like the Accord and TSX. The TSX and A4 both have same amount of top end power in the 4 cylinder motor (or at least expected in the TSX) of ~180hp. VW uses light turbo while Honda uses i-VTEC to achieve this. Just my observation.
Compare 2001 models of VW's Passat/A4:
Also, the Accord and TSX has a much nicer interior than that on the IS300.
