I'd say it this way. "The V6 Engine. What Is The History On It?" or "The V8 Engine. What Is The History On It?"
Actually what determined the size of the engine in a car is basically the target of the manufacturer towards the demand of the market.
Just take the Muscle Car craze era for an example, every manufacturers built cars with big blocks that consume a few gallons of fuel per mile. Then when the oil crisis strikes, the way of making cars are different. Smaller engines, lighter cars etc.
Through out the world, how many people that buy cars because they have V10 under the hood?
So back to the topic, there's no accurate answer for
But why is this engine rarly used?

It depends on the life style and the demand that keeps changing nowadays. MAYBE we'll face oil crisis again tomorrow, who knows? MAYBE we'll have to use bicycles in the future.
Oh ya, correct me if I'm wrong. I like people correcting me, that's what improves me.
