I'm with you completely... yes, the 2ZZ motor sounds a bit tepid while idling, but I'd rather be quiet at redline than noisy at idle.
My '96 Porsche 993TT has the perfect engine sound, IMHO... rumble/burble at idle, and powerful yet subtle at full boost.
EDIT: Low end grunt? Does 400 ft-lbs. at ~2000 RPM qualify?
