Bronco DelayedAutomakers these days have figured out how, through various boosting and sound deadening technologies, to make much more powerful and quieter engines with smaller displacement, but some care more about noise than performance it seems. It is, in fact, the single thing I hated the most about the Acura RDX I test drove, which puts out loud fake noise through the speakers when you put it into sport mode. Personally, I want power to accelerate and pass. In fact, I want a lot more power than "adequate." I also want a quiet cabin where I can hear music and talk to my passengers, and despise vehicles that have been configured to be needlessly loud, whether it's fake noise or the purposeless removal of sound reducing equipment. It is why I like Ford's EB engines. They might not produce the best gas mileage when configured for performance, but wow, those 2.7, 3.0 and 3.5 V6 EBs really pump out the power, and they're pretty quiet (at least the one in my Nautilus is).
But then, that's just me.Sun, 06 Dec 2020 13:02:14 +0000
