Here is a sedan worth talking about, in the mid-sized front-wheel drive category. Last year's comeback was so well received that it earned itself the coveted ?ÒCar of the Year?Ó award. For 2009, the six-speed automatic transmission linked to the four and six-cylinder engines is greatly appreciated. The addition of a hybrid engine will help it compete with its Japanese rivals within this ever-expanding niche. The total power generated by the fuel-electric engines is 164 horsepower.
