The TL, Accord, and TSX are all real close in comparison. I am guessing the TSX base will be more than the Accord LX, but less expensive than the Accord EX V6.
I agree with you that TL, Accord, and TSX are very close to each other. This is what I think Acura is doing, it's using two mid-sized sport sedans, TL and TSX, to compete against the classes of BMW 330i and 325i, respectively. Since TSX is going to use a four-cylinder engine, probably displaces 2.4L, so I assume it's fighting against competitors like BMW 325i, Audi A4 1.8T, M-B C240, Saab 9^3, etc. When 3.2TL and 3.2TL Type S competes against all six cylinder near-luxury sedans and sport sedans like Infiniti G35, Infiniti I35, BMW 330i, Audi A4 3.0 CVT, Lexus ES300, Lexus IS300, M-B C320, etc.
