I was initally considering a V6, but I'm only inclined to buy a V8 at this point for the following reasons:
1) Fuel economy is nearly the same (17/28 for the V8, 19/28 for the V6). I drive mostly highway, so that closes the gap even further. The only real difference in fuel cost is buy premium vs. regular.
2) A V8 model only costs $3-5,000 more than a comparably equipped V6 model, depending on options. People are getting 2SS models with MRC and NPP in the $38-40k range right now. A 2LT V6 equipped the same way is in the $33-35k range. If you can truly afford a V6, the V8 is very likely in your budget, too.
3) I like the front end of the V8 better, but that's my personal opinion.
