I'm no psychic either, but there will always be a desire for performance cars. If an equally rewarding, inexpensive replacement for the V8 presents itself, then the V8 will be in trouble.

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.
