Werd. As much as I love I6 engines, the gas mileage (i.e. in 2JZ GE IS300) is as good as a 4.3 liter V8, which is quite pathetic. Every manufacturer is moving away from I6 engines.

Yes, their powerband is flat as glass and nothing is smoother, but the world, especially Toyota, is looking to improve their "green" image.
The new V6 is an unbelivable engine...270+hp(depending on application) and 29+ hwy mpg!!!
I know the purists arent going to be happy, but you absolutely cannot deny the performance.
