Honda did consider it, did you hear about their (recently dissolved) partnership with GM? They were going to sell GM V6 engines for the Vue, in exchange for V8 engines for a full-size truck project that got axed. Obviously, now GM is just buying V6es from Honda, and Honda isn't geting any V8s.rollaznNever say never. I actually think Honda is going to consider it. Look at the NSX, it already cost a lot putting a V8 into it would only make it that much better.
Fact:
Honda Is the company in Japan with the longest and most respected racing history. Entered Formula 1 in the 60's.
Honda will sell more than 3 million cars in 2004, 2 million more than BMW.
A V8 engine is more expensive to manufacture than a V6 because it has about 30% more parts. Why would Honda build V8s if they can get V8-like performance from their V6es?
Don't hold your breath. A next-gen NSX is more likely to use hybrid technology than V8-power.
