There was a 2.5 V6 but that is for the 99+ Inspire. Its just a J32 V6 thats smaller in displacement. It replaced the G25 motor in terms of approximate power and trim level.
The 1st Gen TL's (equivalent) in Japan had a 2.0 5 cylinder, 2.5 5 cylinder and the 3.2 V6.

Cars in many countries are taxed by the size of their engines. Which is why Japan has so many engines that are very powerful for their size
