Actually, one does if it’s an ecoboost.

I saw on a Lincoln board a couple weeks ago a posting by someone who made the same "had to have a V8!" comment on why the Charger is his new ride instead of the horrible underpowered Continental that only comes with a pathetic V6. Not that there's no good reason to buy a Charger, but who honestly cross shops a powerful, smooth-driving luxury sedan like the Continental with a traditional American muscle car like the Charger? I did point out that if the only criteria he cared about was power and torque he made the wrong choice. The ecoboost 3.0 V6 in the Continental has more hp and more torque (and available earlier in the power band) than the naturally aspirated V8 he went with. He never responded, so I am just assuming that he wanted the sound of the V8 (and that particular letter and number on the back of his car), and the actual delivered power was secondary.

Sounds to me like justifying the car he could afford over the car he wanted...
