Engine Sounds...
Is the reason why there is such a LARGE aftermarket for exhaust systems and one of the first mechanical items any "wrench Head" alters on their car...
It is also why many individuals choose a specific car, next to visual appeal, the exhaust sounds are what makes or breaks the car sale..
When Mazda was designing the Miata, they worked to imitate the exhaust note of a MGB...
It's all a matter of individual preference...
Lotus had a rather curious solution to the exhaust note problem in the Hybrid Evora.. It has a recorded sound track that is controlled by the throttle pedal.. I'm sure this can be adapted to just about any car and just about any exhaust note can be had from most any car...

I'll say this, exhaust note or any single item/feature alone is NOT going to sell me on any car..
