By its own merit, I can't recall any recent-ish mainstream Toyota engine that impresses me from a performance stand point. The Camry V6 certainly has a lot of grunt, but I only find it more or less competitive with similar offerings from Nissan and Honda. And I'd have to say, I like Nissan's VQ better than Toyota or Honda's big V6's.

At any rate, the FB engine started life as a Subaru design. I'd be very much interested in how it performs.

It's my favorite engine period!!!! The 3.5l 306hp/268tq. My co-worker has a 2007 G35 sedan and every time I drive that car I become pissed that I have to drive my RSX. The engine pulls like a V8 from 2800 rpms and never stops pulling till redline and it doesn't even have D/I technology.
