love the short front overhang. not a big fan of bling but the curving upward low chrome strip from very front to very back is a really nice piece of design.

Agreed. It would look really killer in black chrome. Still classy but more understated.

You are actually not missing much, their 5.0 was "okay" at best provided it isn't busy exploding or consuming all its oil in 1000 miles!

I meant a new V8. Something on par with a Mercedes V8. I have never heard about the 5.0 busting out oil and pistons. I always thought the 5.0 was decent

It just doesn't make sense for anybody to develop a new V8. We just have to accept that.

GM just released an all-new V8. It is naturally aspirated as well. Not a small forced V8 engine. Hyundai could do it..they should have done it.

GM? The same company that axed its twin turbo V8 after one year? lol

Steve is absolutely right.

So did Ford with the 7.3.

GM spending all that money on a new V8 just to kill it, sounds like typical GM.

Yep the Ford 7.3 is a monster NA gas truck engine.

Also I think if there's one brand we can count on not killing the V8 it's GM.

They sell way too many trucks and the small block is the epitome of tried and true and it gets 22MPG hwy.. And believe it or not, more consumers than one might think cares about what's under the hood.
