We have had bad experience with the 2.7 Jag engine at work needing Two new engines, one pulling the belt tensioner out of the oil pump and the second snapping the crank. I personally run Audi having previously had an A4, A5 & now swapped to a Q7 with the 3.0 V6, beautiful engine & so far not in the emissions scandal.

Toyota Windom and Avalon I think are all the lesser version of, but still the same as, Lexus. Bullet proof as near as. Forget the plane Goaty just drive it home across Asia and Europe

Ever faithful Amazon.

Very nearly bought a 57 plate mint Amazon last week but it was just too much over priced.

Have they binned the LCV8 now? Current LC has a 2.8 4-pot, what rubbish.

 

I've been reading a lot; merc ditched their traditional i6 for the v6 but are bringing the i6 back. I6 well understood to be perfectly balanced, no need for balancer shafts of a v.

 

Bmw i6 is all allu/magnesium block, always preferred cast iron block but long term oil leaks with ally head on a inline...

 

Ford bless em have cast iron heads now, fair play:thumbup1:

 

There's a good VM Motori 3.0 V6 in some yank truck, hoped it might be in the Jeep Grand Cherokee but no...

 

Specific fuel consumption was superb in that Isuzu in the saab.

Shame you didn't go for it Steve - it was stunning, but as you say, way over priced. I take it they wouldn't budge too far on price?
