Not even a chance that the V-6 is as close to quiet as the four. The turbo V-6 is one of the noisest engines I have heard in recent times on acceleration. Under steady state cruise conditions it is acceptable ,but open the throttle a little and it howls. Glad to see it gone personally, and as for the sludging problem you referred to in the fours? What sludging problem. Saab has produced a ton of these engines and they have a terrific reliability record as best as I can tell. DO you have statistics that back up your comment?
