More power, more tq, and of course MPG with that hot body!
This is a logical play for Acura, since the U.S.-market TSX is essentially the same as the Euro-spec Accord, allowing the company to sell the same model in both markets. Also, being a lower-volume model than the U.S.-spec Accord allows Honda to test-market diesels with less risk. If the diesel TSX is a hit with American consumers, expect the Accord to offer the engine soon thereafter, possibly for the 2010 model year.
