Acuras are not overpriced Hondas. Their prices are the most competetive in the market considering their reliability. For instance, they could get away with selling the TL for $15k more than they are.
The TSX is a more refined Accord. They squeeze a lot of power out of a 4-cyl, add all of the creature comforts from the Accord's EX package and then some, upgrade the interior quality, give it a much more appealing exterior design, and they don't even sell it for more than the Accord EX.

De-tuning is one of my biggest pet peeves in the automotive world. I can see putting extra ports in an RX-8 engine for the sportiest model (wiht manual transmission,) but to "squueze a lot more power out of a 4-cyl" shows me that the originl model is characterized by a lack of effort.
Don't get me started on detuning cars for the US market.
