I don't quite understand what you mean I will agree that most of the american cars are quite ugly and the styling is not all that of many imports but nothing will give you the kick that he is looking from a stoplight like good ol american V8. Even if he turbo's the accord its still going to have lag, I'm a fan of imports and love my accord to death but i will have to say that when I drive my dad's Ford Lightning (s/c V8) that thing has some punch from a stop light.

In general yes, import > domestics in quality, etc. But if you want power, best bang for your buck is going to be a domestic V8. I wouldn't buy one...but it's there for people who want it.

No companies making V8 cars besides domestics?

I'm not going to list all the import V8's, but come on.
