Bob Lutz was quoted saying something along those lines.

This is the 21st century. With things changing, like the cost of fuel and green initiatives and laws, etc., things are shifting away from those big mean V8 engines from years past. And with ever-improving and ever-evolving technology, we can do that without sacrificing power and torque.

Truth is, the newer generations don't seem care for V8s the same way the baby boomers do.

The times they are a changin.
Im a newer generation who likes a v8
