You forgot "US specification" there.

The previous generation Accord has 105 bhp (2.0td), 108 bhp (106), 134 bhp
(1.8), 145 (2.0) and 210 (2.2) four cylinder options.

The current one has 150 bhp (2.0) and 190 bhp (2.4) options. Oh and a 135
bhp 2.2 diesel too.

See above comment about "US specification" heh.
