Both the Kizashi and TSX does 0-60 in 7.5 seconds. 
I'm pretty sure only the 6MT Kizashi model could do 7.5 seconds...and no longer offered (in Canada). The CVT-equipped tests I've read usually get 8.5 - 9.0 or so, and Motor Trend just got 9.2 with AWD. Looks like the AWD-weight doesn't help acceleration, or the CVT sucks the life out of the engine (or both).

But the dealership here is basically a used-car lot, they never had a MT in stock (usually only 1 or 2 Kizashis, period), and I didn't really want a sedan that badly to order a M/T in, or go somewhere else for a test drive. Now if it had been available as a wagon...
Others have called the Kizashi the New (old) TSX, or what the Jetta should have been. I think of it as the New (old) Mazda 6, before it too got all bloated. But without the hatchback and wagon versions...
