IMO in todays market they put that engine in the wrong car. If they put the same V8 in the NX it would generate a bit more interest.

It's also pretty ballsy to come out with a V8 nowadays. It would have made more sense 5-10 years ago (W204 C63 and E90 days). A V6 Hybrid system with AWD would have been more appropriate.

but I'm not complaining. Long live the V8's.
