Why would you need to though? The trend is smaller turbocharged motors taking the place of the V6. Honda doesn't even offer a V6 accord anymore, Hyundai ditched the V6 Sonata 10 years ago. I think Camry is the only one left and since AWD is available, they should just make the base model RWD. This is probably the last generation of 6 cylinder Camry. Going forward, anything with a turbo 6 would've had a V8 10 years ago so it probably would've been RWD anyways.
I'm at a crossroads myself. My V8 sedan is 5 years old now and out of warranty so time to upgrade but I can't find another NA V8 luxury sedan... the updated Genesis G80 is now a V6TT as the top model with the bigger G90 as the only V8 offering. Not sure what to do... keep driving my 2015 to the ground and deal with luxury car repair costs, get the new model and complain about the V6 not being smooth enough or get the G90 and get used to driving a slightly bigger car...
