" Have a hankerin&amp;#039; for a sedan in the / family that&amp;#039;s bigger than a , smaller than an and arguably sportier and more high-tech than either? Then the new , based on the smaller, Japan-market Accord, may be the ticket. It&amp;#039;s 3.0 in. wider and 2.4 in. longer than the car it replaces, and is powered by a retuned version of the 2.4-liter dohc inline-4 that now makes 201 bhp and 172 lb.-ft. of torque. That last figure isn&amp;#039;t a huge gain (8 lb.-ft.), but it&amp;#039;s said to provide more usable power across a wider rev range. That&amp;#039;s good, because we suspect that with additional size comes extra weight to deal with. The engine also gets slightly better mileage (up to 21/30 mpg, city/hwy) and meets ULEV standards.   Transmissions are a close-ratio 6-speed manual and a new Sequential SportShift 5-speed automatic, with paddle shifters on the steering wheel. The car&amp;#039;s structure is said to be more rigid, and employs rails inside the unit body \u2014 fewer protrusions here result in slipperier underbody aerodynamics. The styling is equally slick, with more pronounced body-side creases and an exaggerated grille graphic, sort of a big, high-tech boomerang.   The interior is said to have new seats, and a higher level of luxury and refinement. An optional Technology Package bundles a nav system with real-time traffic and, for the first time, real-time weather through information supplied through satellite radio. It also includes a 10-speaker sound system with DVD-Audio capability, tuned with input from legendary sound engineer Elliot Scheiner \u2014 a guy who&amp;#039;s worked with that small garage band, The Eagles.
