V8 indicates a configuration, not displacement/volume. And to answer your question, it's the sound of a V8 that I crave. Even if it's smaller and maybe less powerful.

Yes, you right about V8. They also do tend to have greater displacement than engines with fewer cylinders.

I can't say I value the engine note that much. Certainly not enough to outweigh a difference in efficiency, power, or price. I'd be perfectly happy with something like a Subaru boxer engine.
