You just argued your own point :huh:
What Mike is saying is since the straight 6 in the Volvo fits in a similarly sized engine bay that the V6 in the RL does (with extra space under the vast sea of black plastic), it would stand to reason that Honda could design a V8 with AWD that would fit nicely in the current chasis.
