This is the final naturally aspirated V-6 sports sedan left standing in America

This piece argues that the era of the final naturally aspirated V-6 sports sedan is fading in America. In a market increasingly dominated by turbocharged and electrified powertrains, a small cohort of holdouts still prizes the visceral, analogue feel of a rev-happy NA V-6. The article highlights the Honda Civic Type R as a high-value performer that can out-pace many $100k rivals while costing about half as much, and notes that Lexus continues to offer an NA V-6 in the IS 350 in certain markets. Data from manufacturers and the EPA underpins these observations as the industry shifts.

Ultimately, the author suggests these remaining NA V-6 sedans embody a fading era, appealing to enthusiasts who value character over raw efficiency.
