You'll be hard pressed to find anything now. Pretty much everyone has gone 4 banger turbo in this segment. Unless you want an Impala (not a bad car), you'll be waiting a long time. 

I've used every inch of torque and hp of every car I've owned - frequently. I have no issue stepping down in power if the platform is fun and works well together. 

The V6 will be considerably worse on understeer, for example. The 2.0 should turn in much more nicely and be considerably more neutral in corners - a desirable trait.
