Well BMW isn't Japanese...there's a reason the I6 is completely dead in Japan.
I think the main reason given was that V6's allow you to snub the body, lowering the size and weight of said cars, and making it easier to reach emission/MPG standards in Japan.
Could be mistaken though, Ichi probably knows better than I do. All I know is that I6's are gone from the Japanese market, and there's nothing we can do about it.
And I would totally say Toyota should make another I6. I LOVE I6's, they are by far much better than V6's, imho. Its just sad knowing that it WON'T happen.
