Well, it is powerful - at 170 BHP roughly - it wasn't that long ago when you needed a very large 6 or an 8-cylinder car to get that horsepower. But it's the torque that matters - this engine doesn't have the torque to match the power. It's more like a 2-litre car.

It was simply called the Euro to differentiate it from the US model, both of which were sold in Australia. I believe the Euro was the only Accord to be sold in Europe, hence probably why the name as well.
The V6 is heavier and changes the balance of the car, plus it's not an "eager" engine. The 4 is in the tradition of Honda free revving engines, however the V6 is probably better for lower down performance.
