Unfortunately it will take them about three years to react to this.
Even if they do it tomorrow they would still be down 30hp. By the time they really do it who knows.

Maybe there are less people on this site then I thought that are disturbed by the gap in the current crop of V6's. To me it's getting to the point of shocking and will definately affect my next car purchase.

We need to all forget about the OHC vs OHV debate and demand a V6 that is worthy of cars that are quickly approaching $30,000. I think it's pretty obvious that 2 valve heads just aren't gonna cut it when you don't have a significant cubic inch advantage over the competition like the V8's have.
