The soft cams *were* a problem tho. Even if the engines themselves weren't unreliable, they weren't tolerant of neglect.. nor were that that simple to work on.

IMO, while the V6 is more durable than the inline six of the 960, I just don't think all that complexity really got anyone anything... at least not in Peugeot or Volvo form. They weren't terribly fuel efficient, nor were they terrbily powerful... or smooth until they got around to designing an even fire crank.
