sound/noise is subjective...you see, whenever a Harley passes by my quiet neighborhood rumbling its engine without regards to resident's well being, I just feel like smacking their heads with their helmets.

I second that.
In regards to sound, I'd want performance but I wouldn't want to turn too many heads. I'd rather make it obvious that I am there by giving it gas, and not noticed when I'm not trying to.
Stealthy ninja cars that wake up when the pedal is down is one thing, loud "luxury" cars are another. Gotta remember, outside the Lexus enthusiast groups... a Lexus is a luxury car, one that older people who hate loud noises are supposed to drive.
Straight pipes FTL in my opinion. I'd rather never have to question whether my exhaust is too loud.

Its loud during cold start idles... but its SUPER quite while idling when warmed up.
