Since ford and Holden Toyota closing Aussie production what choice of 6 cylinder cars will there be? We had falcon, commodore, aurion - It seems the sixes will become extinct

There will still be a Commodore V6 when the all-new, Insignia-based model comes out. Camry will have a V6 and then there is Kia's upcoming Stinger turbo V6. Not too certain if Honda's next-gen Accord will still offer one - that car should be revealed in the next few months.

There are plenty of 6 cylinder cars in the market currently with the ~3.0L V6 being the mainstay of the medium/large class vehicles.
They aren't too lacking for power either with choices including the Chrysler 300's 3.6-litre V6 that makes 210kW / 340Nm; the Honda Accord 3.5-litre V6 with 206kW / 339Nm; Mercedes C350 3.5-litre V6 at 225kW / 370Nm; Subaru Liberty 3.5-litre V6 with 191 kW / 350 Nm along with numerous 3.0L+ V6 turbo-diesels in the 4x2 and 4x4 ute segments. Cheers Russ

Not much offerings in the straight six dept, maybe the word straight is not PC anymore.

I doubt the next Honda Accord will drop the V6- it's the best selling non-SUV car in the states and they wouldn't want to take risks. Read a few months ago in Wheels a SkyActiv V6 is being developed since it's not about downsizing anymore, just 'right-sizing.' Also Merc's about to bring out a new straight-six and so are Jaguar, apparently.

With the exception of the US market where 6 cylinder engines have become V8 replacements, the 6 cylinder engine has gone from the mainstream engine to being the flagship powertrain in many vehicles.

Which is a pity since I have a S60 T6 with the 3.0 I6T and it's a fantastic engine. |

Currently for new Fords in Australia it jumps from the Rangers 5cyl to Mustangs V8. no 6's For the future there could be a 6 the in Ranger? But we seem to be missing out on those awesome Ecoboost v6 engines available elsewhere.

Don't forget that Mercedes announced a year or so ago that they will be dropping their V6 for the I6 power plant due to efficiency gains.
