I couldn't understand why they didn't drop the 3.0T engine when they phased out the Yamaha V* (which is a BEAST). The 3.0T uses the same block and transmission; and has a torque limiter on the first 2 gears to save the tranny, and would've been a more economical alternative to the V8 and extend the practicality and marketability of the model until the end of its useful lie.
I suspect that after the debacle they had with the previous T6 engine they didn't want to expose themselves to the same problems again.
