I disagree with you there. The TSX really is a standard Accord with more luxury features. Those cars you listed are all completely different, like the TL and Accord. This will be a vehicle for people who want some more luxury and are insecure enough to prefer the name "Acura TSX(ooooh, what's that?)" over "Honda Accord(bland and dull)"
With the exception of the AWD, the A4 has the same basic formula as the TSX. Smaller than the Passat. Red dome lighting. More "prestiges" brand name. 2-3 grand more than Passat. The A4 is basically a Passat.
But I think the difference is that the A4 came out before the Passat, therefore there's a recognition that Passat is a downsized A4. Whereas the Accord came out before the TSX, so the perception is the TSX is an upsized Accord. Hmmm....
i just lost myself what point i was making :doh:
