I wouldn't say "amazing" although 19 city 26 highway is pretty dang good for a 290 HP V6. I work at a Toyota/Subaru dealer, and I had to do a PDI on a V6 Rav4 the other day, those things are INSANE! I can't imagine what one would do if it was FWD, the one I did was FT4WD and it was pretty squirrly, even on dry pavement... Amazing would be if they could get 35 MPG out of those (and still be 290 HP)...

I wish they came 5 speed, but I don't think they offer anything with the 3.5 in a 5 speed (The four cylinder Camry doesn't even come in a 5 speed anymore )
