You must be kidding.....three cyliner engine produces so funny noise, have you never heard Fiesta R2?? I know that the future demands in this class only 3 cylinder engines (costs), but if you want to create a legend like Suby Impreza STi or Mitsu evo IX/X, this shrilling noise will not help to fall into delirium. And saying that this is cutting-cost step is meaningless for the vehicle, which will cost at least three times of a normal version...and it is not a version which will be produced in 100.000 + units...so, one minus for me.
Now I can only wait that the next P911 & BMW M3 will have also 3 cylinder engine...and you will like it?? Com'on....
