I think people are reading into the 6600 rpm max torque too much. For all we know, it could have 150ft-lb at 3000. The fact that it has 148ish at 7000 suggests it's probably not that peaky, but I could be wrong.

EDIT Oh what this confirms (most likely) though is no variable lift/duration. If it had that, max torque would come sooner, or they pulled a Honda and went for low speed=efficiency.
