Joking aside, I just wanted to be able to hear the natural sound that the turbo makes; not having it be obnoxiously loud, just barely audible like all other turbo diesel vehicles because I find it interesting to listen to as the speed is increased. Mercedes made these turbos almost completely silent but I'd rather be able to hear them a LITTLE.

It seems that I'm one of the few that appreciates being able to hear the sound of the machinery instead of driving a car that is completely silent. Sometimes it's just nice to have at least a little show to go with the go.
