It should do its job fairly well. FWD won't be too much of a barrier though ... most people don't know what wheels are powering their car, and even fewer know what the advantages and disadvantages are of the different configurations. Same thing with the power of the engine. For the most part, the 3.6 will do an adequate job. Enthusiasts will be wanting more, but ~13lb/hp isn't bad for a big luxury sedan that isn't trying to be a high performance car. Although I do think that a turbocharged V6 or possibly an e-assist hybrid V6 powertrain would be a welcome upgrade on an upper level trim for this car.
