More seriously, the Volvo 5 pot sounds Ok, though it needs a turbo to really prick up the ears. For the NA versions, a big part of it's disadvantage is you've got to wring it out before it becomes tuneful &, at least on my 2.5 20v'er, that's hard work compared to my Alfa 164 (IIRC :-( ), which throbbed just enough to draw you on before it sang from 3-7k.

Disagree on that. The sound of a 5cylinder at full throttle is fantastic.
