djpath is right. I still have my old 2001 3.0L with 222 HP. Edit: Actually, wikipedia is right too - it just doesn't say what was reported above.
The 3.5L in the 2002+ is nice, and the HIDs are a great addition as well. The downside, aside from the gas mileage, is that a lot of the 3.5s burned oil. The 3.0s were rock solid, but lower power. Pretty solid car overall, but I'm sure there are more reliable cars out there from that time period.
