Going forward, anything with a turbo 6 would've had a V8 10 years ago so it probably would've been RWD anyways.
I'm at a crossroads myself. My V8 sedan is 5 years old now and out of warranty so time to upgrade but I can't find another NA V8 luxury sedan... the updated Genesis G80 is now a V6TT as the top model with the bigger G90 as the only V8 offering. Not sure what to do... keep driving my 2015 to the ground and deal with luxury car repair costs, get the new model and complain about the V6 not being smooth enough or get the G90 and get used to driving a slightly bigger car...

You've got a point. I was still thinking of the V6 FWD platform. I think Toyota will be the holdout for another generation as I don't see the Avalon going to a turbo 4, ditto the Lexus ES, Lexus RX, and Highlander. Honda still has the Pilot as well, but you are right there's no Accord anymore.
Who am I kidding though, the 2GR is probably gonna last another generation, maybe with added DI.
What V8 sedan do you have? I guess there isn't much. Charger? SRT8?
