I know the V8 roars nice and loud but I've driven a number of 4 banger turbos over the last 15 years and prior to that I was probably pretty biased in favor of the big iron.
In a decently balanced car between weight + motor a four banger is a lot of fun, and there are a lot of people outside the US of A that love them. There's a lot less of us buying cars here in the US compared to the rest of the world too and they don't want big V8s.
Every time I go over to Europe I get mocked occasionally when they find out I'm american about our driving habits.
I give as good as I get though, when I remind them when they 'can't believe we drive' when I explain that every christmas I drive 2200 miles round trip at Christmas and ask them how far that takes them. They think 120 miles is a 'horribly long trip'.
