Mopars new V6- the Pentastar

It looks pretty complicated for the "fewer parts" claim, but they are counting parts in the entire V-6 product lineup. My 3.8L V-6 looks more like a descendant of the LA engine, with pushrods ..., but a 60 deg bank. I am all for improved technology, as long as reliability follows. With fewer engines in the lineup, parts should be easier to get and interchange. The integral exhaust manifold will limit people from fooling with manifold choices, but that gives more time to tune the many other parts. With today's V-6's, there is little need for a V-8 in passenger cars anymore.
