If you want to go really fast in a straight line and need lots of room for groceries and kids, then the accord may be a better choice. Some of those new minivans fit this bill as well.
But we are not going down this road again. Try a search to find out all the answers to your question.

THe one built for the US market, bigger, sloppier handling, great interior, bigger engine choice
or the Accord built for the Euro market, smaller, tighter handling, great interior, small, peppy engine. Add a badge of "acura" and you have the TSX.

I think Honda can get more HP and torque out of the K24 engine. S2000 has 240hp, but only 162ft-lbs of torque from a 2.2 liter engine. They could probably get 10% more hp and torque out of the K24 with a little fine tuning. (Remember, this is a HONDA engine, best engine builders in the world)
220hp and 183ft-lbs torque, no problem. Bet these numbers pop up in next generation of TSX!

The k24 makes a bunch of torque for its size, but its power is redline-limited. The only reason the S2000 has so much power w/ so little torque is because its redline is so high.

BMW also makes the best V-10 in the world (Lambo Gallardo is a very, very close second). Their V-8 has so much technology that it's ridiculous. And their V-12 is not too shabby. I still think BMW is the best overall engine manufacturer. Not just in 6-cylinders...

The K24 in the TSX has lots of usable torque so it helps with the day-to-day driving of a heavy sedan like the TSX. For a 4 cyl its got alot of power down low in comparison to other 4 cycl engines on the market. But top end wise, there are much better engines.

Also, I am very surprised that the S2000 is only a 4 cyl.
