I seriously hope not but could absolutely see this happening since that's what the 3rd Gen Tacoma has too. In it's current form the HP/Torque is about the same as the 4.0 offers too so not much to gain there.
Stats of 3.5L from Tacoma:
3.5-Liter V6 DOHC 24-Valve direct-injection Atkinson-cycle engine with VVT-iW (Variable Valve Timing-intelligent Wide) intake and VVT-i (Variable Valve Timing with intelligence) exhaust, with 278 hp @ 6000 rpm/265 lb.-ft. @ 4600 rpm (bore x stroke: 94.0 x 83.0 mm; compression ratio: 11.8)
I could also see them going with the 6 speed auto from the Tacoma for better fuel mileage or worse the 8 speed from the Highlander.
