0-60 in 6.2s is amazing for that kind of vehicle: 270hp + short gearing... I prefer using less power off the line + have some left for passing on the highway... but the other sells more cars... pretty impressive... interestingly the V6 + 4 cyl get the same fuel economy (4 cyl gets a 4 speed transmission, probably also geared for fast off the line, high revs on the highway, especially passing)... I tend to get lousy fuel economy on Japanese automatics because I need to downshift constantly to pass etc... Mazda 5 was like that for me... the gearing drove me crazy... yet some prefer that... fair enough...
