Luxury is all about excess and a v6 is pretty ordinary.

I agree, V8's have more of a luxury feel to them but even Mercedes and BMW know there are some people who care more about the other attributes of a car besides the engine. There is more to luxury than simply the drivetrain. Offering V8's only throughout an entire lineup limits a brand's reach. Keep the V8-only configuration in the largest offering, Deville.

I wonder if the same would apply to ponycars and their engines too?
