The 2.0T sedan, SportCombi, and convertible are similarly equipped. The 2.0T is powered by the high-output version of the turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, rated at 210 horsepower for 2006. A five-speed manual transmission is standard. A six-speed automatic is optional. The Aero sedan, SportCombi, and convertible are similarly equipped and feature the new 2.8-liter V6 rated at 250 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque.
