>cars have to make some kind of noise, and rather than feeding fake engine noise through electric and hybrid vehicles, a lot of car companies are going the branding route by creating a “sound of the future” >Mercedes-AMG told Wheels it hasn’t decided which route to go with electric sound yet: imitating combustion engines or creating an entirely new sound.
And here comes Linkin Park.
AYY LMAO the absolute state of Mercedes (((luxury))) cars.

BREAKING NEWS
Porsche is going to do the same thing just with Paul Walker instead of Linkin Park.
It would be fine if they sounded anywhere near as authentic as the noises coming from this guys mouth. Gran Turismo for the psp has more realistic engine sounds than 90% of the fake engine sounds in these cars
Oliver Phillips
I though Mercedes was supposed to be some kind of upscale brand.

I mean, you could go all /pol/ about it, but in the middle east where Mercedes has a huge market that's a pretty useful feature and has probably earned them some sales.
Austin Ward
Why does this makes me kek like a whore
Eli Gomez
they should put them only in cars sold in the middle east then
It could be a useful feature for people outside of the middle east, it's not really harming your driving experience, you can probably turn it off in the options menu.
You can ask the Mercedes navigation to show you Bars and Nightclubs nearby, which isn't disabled in the Middle East, but can be in the options menu, people over there aren't up in arms about it.
Dude, arabs buy Mercs like hotcakes. Of course theyre gonna add features that'll make their cars attractive to a market that brings them a fuckton of money. The fuck you expect a carmaker to do, protest their customers religion

>ICE cars make too much noise Now EVs have to make noise too. What's the point?
Kevin Bennett
Also, do you know that many Syrian refugees in Germany have been hired to work in Mercedes?
