The 3.0 V6 is one of the best engines in the world. Every review I have read in print or online has nothing but phrases and the only harsh words have been something in the context like " you got to rev it to get max torque". Is that a problem or part of the fun? Its all fun to me, not many cars makers can make engines rev out as well as a Honda. Heck, I would be confident be say the 3.0 is as smooth or smoother than a Acura RL, I've read that in the RL when you stomp on it, it sounds thrashy, you'll never hear that about the 3.0.
There have been many times I've come back from a drive and said to myself " Amazing".
