That car doesn't come with a V-6. The thermostat on the 4 cylinder is on the lower side of the engine, near the oil pan, on the front of the block near the radiator. At least that's what it looks like from the diagram.

It clearly says DOHC V6 on the manifold.

I'm sorry, you are right. I was looking at the wrong model, and there was only a 4 cylinder. For the V6, there is a water pipe that runs under the intake manifold, and has a thermostat on the end of it at the back of the engine. The pipe has a 90 degree elbow which directs water toward the front of the car into the radiator.
