The subaru 3.6R is not a V6
The subaru 3.6R is not a V6 but like other Subaru engines, a flat opposed 6. Yes, unfortunately it has been discontinued. I own a 2012 Legacy with it and it has proved to be a great engine. It's quick, smoot, and very reliable with a plus to me that is lacks all the "gee whiz" turbo complexity while still making good power. My mileage has never proved to be nearly as low as the critics have complained. I did note that the engine took about 15k miles to break in after which the mileage peaked getting about 24 overall and I have had as high as 32 on the highway on long trips if I keep it to the speed limit. I wonder how many turbos will be toasted by owners who don't factor in a bit of idle cool down after a time of running them hard. Turbos get very hot and the bearings in addition to being lubricated by oil are also cooled by it. Drive one hard for hours and pull into McD's for a break and just shut it off without a short cool down and you will fry oil sitting in critical but red hot lubrication points. Not necessarily a problem only rarely but day in and day out of this practice and scorched carbon deposits build up on bearing surfaces leading to premature failure.
