European> Renault.

Japan> Honda or Nissan

I'm sure the usual chatter will exist around other makes, such as Ferrari, Toyota, Mercedes, Porsche etc.... but, they will need to turn out a volume of engines, have one that fits, and be ready to go with reliability.

The Renault 3.5L V6 seems to be a solid, perfect fit... it might not make the HP they want in NA form, but, add on a turbo, and it's right there.

Yes I know, it's really a Nissan lump.
