Besides, I have more V-8s than you do.
The first sentence doesn't make any sense. The second sentence - unlikely.

sure it does.

well your version of 'unlikely' might differ from the rest of the world. And heck, not all of my V8s are in trucks. My worst V8 gets at best 4mpg. How many people here can say that? And be proud of the fact?

Quaddriver, you do realize your getting on alot of people verves around here with your BS. I sugest you chill alittle. Opinions are one thing, but you get to the point of radical. If the 6.2 excits you this much, wait untill they release the 7.0, the V-10 replacement ha ha.

Sorry! I'm still trying to find the link about Elvis's involvement with Ford on the glorious 6.1L.

I wouldn't hold out for anything though.....

European governments tax fuel so heavily that the people don't have a choice but to buy the efficient cars.

Gas in Europe was $7.00 - $8.00 + for most of 2008 in UK and even over $9.00 - $10.00 in Germany, Belgium and Netherlands at some points in 2008.

If the US government taxed fuel like those countries, the story of fuel efficient vehicles not being profitable would change faster than you can fall out of bed.
