This is a good and a bad thing. I was hoping that someday the V10's would return. But on the plus side we dont need to worry about the idea of a 1.4L 4 cylinder engine in the back of the cars. The V8's sound and perform well enough so 10 more years of them is fine by me. :)

I'm glad they're sticking with the 2.4 V8s but I would have been interested to see just how fast and how much bhp they could have got from a 1.4 litre engine...
Somehow I don't think they'd have been quite the same as your average Ford Fiesta/Vauxhall Corsa 1.4s  ;D
