The new V6 engines from Toyota come really close to this. In addition, how much are you really going to save by dumping the Maxima?

I was thinking that too but I think I would rather have the loaded Mazda than a Base Camry for the same $$$.
I still like the Jetta TDI but I can't find any info on the 07's. Did they discontinue them???
