Jalopnik, in all its wisdom, has made a post that asks, "Does The New BMW M4 Sound Like A Prius?"
The post is prompted by a video that shows the new BMW M4 starting up and revving its twin-turbo straight six engine. An onlooker says that it sounds like a Prius. And it seems to be true that the M4's engine is a little quiet. That isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it does warrant a discussion.
Check out the video below, and take a listen for yourself.
Here is a video of a Prius revving its engine just for comparison's sake.
Having listened to both exhaust notes now, I think that comparing the M4 exhaust note to the Pruis's is a bit disingenuous.
