I think I'd just prefer a slight hum and more insulated/quiet car, but that's mainly because so far I think EV's are best suited towards commuter or comfort/luxury type cars rather than sports cars. There's just no way of recapturing emotion through sound in an EV in my opinion.
I dunno, the VW iDr sounds pretty mean going round the ring or up pikes peak. Like a giant version of a bad ass rc. I'd be ok with that on my 1000 hp iM2. Hahaha

I do agree though that one of the things I love about our leaf plus is how quiet it is while cruising around town and I hope most ev's stick with this route. No need for artificial sound in a car. If it were me, I would put a better audio system in so the music can sound better within that quieter space.
