Makers of great cars do make inline sixes.

GM builds a straight 6. I hear good things about it too.

The Jeep Wrangler has an available 4.0 liter inline six. It is an
updated version of the Rambler six-cylinder engine introduced by
American Motors for the 1964 model year. (I'm not sure how much longer
this engine will be in production, but it's still listed for the 2006
Wrangler -- 42 years is a pretty good run!)

I read recently that it is being replaced by a V-6.  I think I read this
in Popular Mechanics.

My sister had one 67 rambler, even she couldn't kill it. Had 7 main
bearings!!! Very stout. I had the 63 Rambler model with the 6 cyl
aluiminum block. Bought it with Blown head gasket! Resurfaced the block
with a BIG file
