Look at the FX35, every rating always states that the 320hp V-8 really is not needed because of the vast power of the V-6. Nissans only flaw, which BMW use to have that problem is the mpg of its V-6s. That would be IMO the only part where Toyota and Honda outshine Nissan but everything else goes Nissan and BMWs way.
Yes the cars are heavy but surprisingly my Maxima gets better gas mileage than the BMW any day of the week.
