Tell that to the EPA, they rate the V6 Malibu at only 1 mpg less then it's four cylinder competitors, even though they have much less usable power.
If you think that having less idlers is more important then having a servicable engine, I can see why you'd like Japanese cars.
Here's my FWD V6, more room then many four cylinder cars I've worked on:
It's was a bit dirty when I got it.

Goose, my BIL has had a 2005 malibu maxx with a 3.5L since mid 2004. They love it. Not a single problem. We've had about 5 3.xL, 4T45/4T65 equipped GM's in the family over the years. I've always been a fan of this drivetrain. The only major issue was one IMG replacement needed on the 1997 buick century. They are a simple, economical and snappy little V6.
