Another thing, know GM's Inline-6 in their new mid-zive SUV's, the one that puts out 270hp and 275lb/ft of torque? Heres the catch, its a 4.2L engine, thats well into V8 territory. So in order for Honda to get "V8 like power" theyll need to upsize their V6's quite a bit.
V8 like torque, than yes, it needs to be big. 4.0+ liters. V8 like power, it doesn't need to big. Honda can easily build a 3.8L V6 with 250 foot pounds and 300-310 HP, that will only rev to about 6500-6800 RPMs.
