OP you know why a V6 is called a V? Because it's shaped like a V. The inline 6 is called an inline 6, because the six cylinders are in-line. In a straight line.
They're not alike in looks and they're not alike in performance. The inline 6 is much more powerful with low-end torque than any V6. It's also heavier and guzzles more gas because not only is it cast iron, but it has much more gravity resistance since the pistons are straight up and down. V6 engines can be made out of practically any crappy over-sea product, so they're lighter and made for horsepower and they use less gas because being configured in a V has less gravity resistance than going straight up and down.
Big difference.
4.0L Inline 6. It's what you have.
