Why would they want something that sounds like 1/4th of a V12 to sound like a tinny, droning I4? The sound of I-3s is unusual, but if you tune out the high pitches with proper exhaust tuning, the slightly off-beat note sounds properly sporting.

Shame... but honestly, that's not any slower than an automatic Lancer or Honda Fit.
