From the quotes I have seen from Jason, it isn't that easy to turn off though, correct? There is no button to push, no fuse to pull, unless I am mistaken.

I also thought that to get it "OFF", portions of the audio system were no longer operational?

Regardless, I am of the mind that if the sound is REAL--aka, coming from my own engine, and they're piping into the cabin, that's one thing and is more acceptable.

However, if the sound is coming through the speakers and is recorded....well, that's just stupid. Almost as stupid as creating such a system without an ON/OFF button that doesn't require an internet tutorial from a forum member to figure it out.

This feature won't keep me from buying the car. But it's pretty bogus, and based on the principle that if you want the car to sound nice in the cabin, then build the cabin in a manner consistent with that result in mind. Not a tough principle to see, at least in my opinion.
