Yes, a crossplane V8 with Flowmasters is probably one of the most unmistakably American sounds. I find the high-revving import sound far less enjoyable; it's smoother but the high pitch is fatiguing.
On the other hand, I also like the sound of two-stroke diesels.
I live in the US and have the same preference as far as cars go, but I literally cried happy man tears the day that I got my four-cylinder Honda bike (with a flat-plane crank) and listened to it as I wound it out in first gear. There's definitely room in this wonderful world for both :-)
