There are few things as satisfying as a luxury car powered by a proper V8 engine. Luxury cars are supposed to be smooth, elegant, and powerful, and an eight-cylinder engine is the perfect complement to achieving this, even if you end up paying at the pump. However, luxury cars also carry risks, the main one being how a routine trip to the dealer will uncover some ghastly new expense, and the more cylinders under the hood, the greater the risk.
