It would be, but that would be a HUGE engine in an I6 form, although they did cram a V8 in the IS-F...
Is that true for all Toyota engine codes, or just the recent ones?

Who cares about front wheel drive cars...And who cares about gas mileage? If you're worried bout gas mileage....take the damn bus! How many other stock blocks can handle 800-1000 HP? Enough said!

Volume sellers are the money makers. Of course bringing in some ridiculous car into the company can give you some name but you're not making much (if any) money on it. (Bugatti Veyron)
And not everyone drives in fair weather all year round. I refuse to drive my SC400 in the Winter, that's a death wish. Even if I have Winter tires and Traction Control on, I still spin and I still slide. Forget about breaking too, if you've got the biggest 20" rotors and brakes to match, you're still sliding.

2JZ is the Japanese equivalent of a Chevy small block. Well known. Strong. Easy to mod. But now old.

I think Toyota screwed up the engine code on my ES300's 1MZ-FE... I wouldn't exactly call it "efficient"
It seems like I6's are going away and V6's are the new big thing... you don't see a lot of I6's in new cars anymore.
I never personally liked the IS300 engine, probably mostly because I'm not into modding. I find it underpowered, and it doesn't compensate with fuel efficiency. It does compensate with handling and braking though
