Are V8 Engines Still Worth It in 2024?

With all the buzz around turbocharged four-cylinders, hybrids, and EVs, I’ve been wondering if the good ol’ V8 still holds its ground. There’s nothing like the sound and raw power of a naturally aspirated eight-cylinder, but with fuel prices and emissions regulations tightening, is it practical anymore?

For those who’ve stuck with V8s what’s your take? Do the pros (like reliability, torque, and that iconic rumble) outweigh the cons in today’s market? And if you’ve switched to something smaller or electrified, do you miss the V8 experience? Curious to hear real-world opinions!
