Think big, people. GM isn't the only company using more than 6 cylinders. There are a lot of companies—Rolls Royce, Bentley, Lamborghini, Porsche, Chrysler, Ford, Ferrari just to name a few—that use a lot of cylinders. While some of these brands have a calling in the luxury field, they all rely on the rewarding nature of a loud, large-displacement motor as a means of satisfying the driver.

Yea, I should have added to my post that: I agree, there will always be V8's in something. And as fast as the electric cars coming are and will be, I lika the rumble and the roar of an LS3. They'll have to pry it from my dead fingers wrapped around the leather covered steering wheel. or better yet, just bury me in it.
