I can see a place in the world for V6 engines which don't greatly exceed 3.0 liters in displacement, but anything much larger than 3.2L in a V6 design is a balancing nightmare and makes for a very poor argument when compared to a comparably sized V8 for reasons stated above. And even in applications below 3.0L I see little to no advantage over the budding crop of GTDi four cylinders now hitting the market. I wont throw rocks at a company for building a V6 engine, particularly anything in the 3.2L or lower displacement range, but I do think the wisest company would be the one that figures out.....if any indeed do....that the V6 engine really brings very little worth mentioning to the table that other alternatives don't accomplish more convincingly. The only common piston engine design currently in production that I know of which has less going for it is the V10.
