Smoothness of Power: A V6 always has 2 cylinders firing (one near the beginning of its power stroke and one near the end). This is impossible to achieve with a four cylinder engine. The result is a much more uniform power delivery, which is a desirably quality in a luxury car. The more cylinders you have, the smoother the power. Reduced Vibration: While a V6 isn't close to ideal, it is better than I4's. Even with damped mounts and such, vibration will be transmitted through the chassis. Vibration characteristics vary with engine configuration and displacement, but a small V6 has less vibration than an I4 of similar size or power. It is possible to practically eliminate the dynamic imbalance with a V8.

Tee hee.
That little tidbit made it through. And let Bob know that if he wants someone to test said Regal GS or the new Riviera, just give me a call.

Not that I know of, although the Riviera might take care of that.

I agree, but only because I consider the LaCrosse to be a Lexus ass-kicker
