Hmmm, 6 cylinders in a line vs 4 cylinders in a line. I wonder...hmmm... it might be longer...use the search feature from a couple years ago, there were lots of discussions about why the V8 wasn't selected to start (a lot of time-to market, need for changes to the motor to get it to fit in the space, etc).
