Please consult your nearest dictionary. Uninspiring is not a synonym of good, bad, weak, strong, or bad MPG. Uninspiring means: 'Having no intellectual, emotional, or spiritual excitement; dull.' That sums up the VQ35 well.
Edit: To underscore that point, here's a story: The last time I drove a TL 6-speed, RSX Type-S and a BMW 330i I got chills down my spine winding the engine up. When I test drove the G35C 6-speed it was totally lacking that feeling. It just felt like a big, fat engine built for torque and speed...no real excitement or anticipation to it.
