6 cylinder engine up from 190 kw to 195 and torque is up from 383 to 391
nm.

4 speed auto replaced with 5 speed auto (expect LPG model)

Carby LPG engine largely unchanged really.

XR8 gets the 290 kw boss V8
XR6 Turbo gets 270 kw and 533 nm of torque.

and so on and so on.

The wagon still lives but I guess its basically the same as the BF range
really.

New Accord still has more power (200 kW). So does Aurion, I suppose, but
it's not a true large car like the Accord is.

You're doing some *serious* wang wiggling if you think the Accord is a large
car. It's a *nice* car, sure, but ain't large by any stretch of the
imagination.

Even yours.

The EPA in the US now classes the Accord as a large car, placing it in the
same category as the Crown Victoria, amongst others. It's one size above
Camry.

Crikey, I'm underwhelmed. Hardly noticeable, and the extra weight in the new CD
deck will probably negate the massibe increses.

I don't know how many times I have to tell you that what happens in the US
is totally fucking irrelevant to anyone on this side of the planet.

I know you're a thick cunt, but Jesus Christ......
