Im totally fine with a V6, But they should be different models, Like completely different, Like Corvette to Camaro, Id love to see an InLine-6 Vantage, But V6 in name only sounds better, Similar to how the DB7 started with there 6. Wether itll be fun, Is questionable,(Pretty is another matter too) Itll be faster though, Im also not too keen on AMG having involvement in it...
