I certainly wish that Audi would quickly put their 30-valve V6 onto the A4, 
but it's almost certain to be too late before I look for a new car in 6-8 
months. But while talking about the BMW and MB engines, I thought it'd be nice 
to put in Nissan's 3.0L V6 in the Maxima. That's helluva engine. My impression 
is that it's smoother than the BMW 2.5L I6 that I remember as well as MB's 
2.8L I6. The rush to the 6600 (or was it 7000RPM) redline was like a turbo 
rush even though you get a good amount of low end torque as well. And I bet 
the engine is as light as the aforementioned BMW and MB's, or Audi's 
equivalent, given the low curb weight of the Maxima. Too bad, the rest of the 
car didn't quite measure up.
