The V6 is an absolute boat anchor, the last good V6 out of GM was the Ecotec - thats why I reckon the V8 was so successful for Holden and not so much for Ford.

That and the XR6 Turbo made the 5.4L 4V look like a turd rolled in glitter, it wasn't until the Miami came around that the V8 held its own.
