I think the TSX should compete with the base level sport/luxury sedan such as Bmw 325i, Audi A4, Lexus IS300, mercedes C 230K sedan / C 240, etc. Out of those all, I think the TSX has the most HP except the IS300 (215 vs 200). Although I personanly won't choose the TSX when I'm in the market for one of these cars.

Actually there's a review on the UK accord aka Acura TSX on the Automotive news and rumors forum. Although there are some differences with the US version.
