390hp/720 ft/lbs. Wow.

So let me get this right, the heads are backwards of what I'm used to dealing with on a gasser? There's a turbo in the center valley of the engine??

Size and weight. The I6 is much taller than a v8, needing a truck design for clearance above and below the engine.

Vince-
they mention that the grille on the newest one is back to being separate from the hood. Aside from style issues, does it matter? Is one or the other easier to get to underhood parts when you're working, or otherwise significant when you're working on it?

(I'm guessing having the grille attached to the hood is easier, but I've never worked on one, so I don't know.)

There's advantages and disadvantages to both. The grille on the hood cause bumps on your head (can't tell you how many times I've bumped mine), and its easy to get your feet into the intercooler when standing on the bumper. But there's more room for access without a grille there.
