    V8s have a great sound, but americans have historically been very bad at getting any kind of fuel mileage out of them.

    downsizing would be an idea, you could technically make a 2-3 Liter V8, but then you have the complexity of two equally performing 4-cilynder engines.

    and especially ford doesn’t do mechanical complexity very well, look at the 1.0 ecoboost.

        Certainly not a priority, but Ford still has to meet certain standards that as I understand it keeps getting tougher.
