Welcome to the forum.
There's a whole thread on this beast here.
It's a great car to drive, and I suggest a GPS that has speed alerts because you really can go too fast before you know it.
Economy figures are better than expected with the larger engine, although not good enough to justify (in $ terms) me trading my 4-banger in for one.

I think the biggest issue was with the early model and the amount of heat under the bonnet. This summer wasn't particularly hot either, if I owned an early 550 I'd be hoping to replace all of my air hosing before next summer!
I found a post here showing a tough climb with a large van providing figures of 11.8LPHK.

I have the 2.5 TD and I have problems with the speed.
Don't know what it is, just feels like its going slow and it isn't.
Even the wife commented on it.
Maybe a Nissan thing?

Those things must be smooth...
The V6 is smooth, the usual diesel sound is still there but it's subdued compared to the 4-banger which is also rather smooth and quiet. At freeway speeds, it's difficult to tell that it's a diesel.

They are far from perfect sadly, the engine has enormous a mounts of turbo lag, coupled with one of the worst gearboxes possible, driving in traffic on a twisty hill (through blue mountains example) can be downright frustrating.
I do like it, but I probably wouldn't buy another one
