Why is the TSX so slow?

Yeah but who cares about high end power? That doesn't matter to most people unless you are street racing, which most aren't with a TSX. For all practical use, low end torque is all that matters.
Horsepower is how fast you hit a wall.
Torque is how far you'll move the wall once it is hit.

Horsepower and torque go hand in hand so your question is a bit confusing. Also, I think your scenario is a bit too simple because there is a lot more going on than just horsepower and torque when you drive, like RPM's, power bands, etc.
