No V6 twin turbo being run in any test mule and is not an option at this stage. It just hasnt worked for production/emission reasons ..... something else is considered which could upset a few .... Volvo anyone?

Production of V6 compared to I6 is only double that in the US compared to here.

It is a month by month scenario at the moment and no decisions have been set in concrete on anything due to what is going on in the states and world wide.
Sssh.

Interesting that the Yanks like the I6 over the V6. As for Volvo - I'd liken it to Mazda.
