Just depends on how much you like to mash and how WOT you drive constantly. My buddy richie has a 05 v6 and he gets crap for mpg as he always lead foots it everywhere..pointless but the way he drives makes me avoid the v6 with gas costs. Also , it will be more beneficial when people start getting into weight reduction with the 6i because of supports , engine weight , suspension weight , etc. A lot of things can be gained from the 4 banger than from the 6.
As far as the revving , eh I like the hidden sound in the 6i's stock exhaust but it's too god damn heavy and too restricting. Which is why I now roll with aftermarket...have a very smooth sound coming from my 4 banger now that over powers the 6 bangers without being too loud or annoying.
I read on another forum maybe it was mazdatech but people are looking into creating stroker kits for the 3.0 so that will blow that market up big if it goes through.
