I do not see the V6 being the red-headed step-child. Far from it.

I notice what you said about exhaust "sound" and I fully agree.

I do not see the turbo four appealing to the budget shoppers at all because the budget shopper will lean toward non exotic tech (I know forced induction is not exotic but I believe a budget shopper will not).

I still believe the turbo four introduction delay is related to EPA/CAFE but since I have little understanding of these two I can not defend my belief. In this I disagree with Number 33 who seems to contend the complexity of ramp up is the reason, but, it is quite possible he is totally correct.
