Like the amp that "goes to 11", the gearbox that goes to 6 isn't necessarily better. In fact if you put a lower 1st gear in the Viggen you'd only need to further drop the aritificial torque limit... or put up with that much more wheel spin. And as for the higher top gear, 155mph is likely enough for any of us and the Viggen 5-spd returns an easy 34mpg on the road as it is. IMHO it's a jump on the marketing bandwagon.
But I am wondering if the V6 simply provide more room for future power growth. If they're introducing it with Aero/Viggen ratings, it may just be starting where the 2.3HOT topped out. We'll see........
