The V8 sounds pretty good from start and cruising...Probably could be meaner.

This is exactly how mine starts also in the morning. And the sound gets louder and shakes the car once I put it in Reverse or Drive. If any of you 1.8L M271 owner out there say this doesn't sound like a diesel engine at startup, you obviously don't know what a diesel engine is or heard of one.
