Even though people like that are tools I don't think that's what the report post button is for. You could always PM a mod and let him know so they can step in and put a stop to it.

So slow today. I agree though, some people on here just hate on the V6 like no other. I couldn't be happier with my 300+ hp V6.

HP isn't the problem for your V6s. What hurts is the low torque you guys have. It takes it a bit to get such a heavy car moving. I was surprised at the big difference between mine and when I rented an LT last year. I'm not referring to mine as it is now, but when it was still stock. A very noticeable difference in torque between the 2.

I'm not trying to bash on the V6 either so please don't take it that way. Just stating a fact.

Just stop bashing my V6 man!!!! Seriously though, we do have a low end torque problem which I hope to fix at the end of this summer.

More proof that Toyota doesn't give two sh*ts about human life. It's all about profit to them.

although it was in bad taste, it may have been scripted or planned. as they mention in that article. They could have been talking about the royal wedding, and he could have mentioned hybrids...
