TL interior volume is the same as the G35, 98 cu.ft.. So by your logic, the G35 is also competing w/ the GS,5 Series, and E-class too? However, the GS has interior volume of 110 cu.ft., which is larger than the difference between TL/G35 and the IS350. Also, the RL has interior volume of 99 cu.ft., does that mean G35x compete w/ RL as well? People usually cross shop in price and class, not size, or else the Accord/Camry/Altima will be competing w/ GS/5-series/E-class too.
