I wouldn't mind seeing it come with a small displacement V8 though
I wouldn't mind telling you this: it's very likely a V8 engine will be on the next NSX.

And when you said reliability...is it really necessary in a supercar? I'm sure people don't buy a Ferrari or Aston Martin for the sake of reliability. Remember, people who have $90000 on hand are people who are likely to be ably to afford to buy more than one Honda NSX or 550 Maranello. I admit, a V-12 is hard to live with cause they're notorious for gobbling too much fuel. But again, is reliability really necessary in a supercar?
