Cool Maybe an IS but, Engine Noise in winter ?

Hello - I am currently considering buying an IS 350.

Test drove one, fantastic machine.
I have heard that on really cold mornings the engine makes a 'horrible' noise until it warms up.
Can anyone confirm / deny this ?
I live in a part of Canada where it does get -20 for weeks on end.

Cheers and thanks.

I'm just outside Edmonton and got my 250 in November. Never had much of a problem with it in winter. I've heard far worse from my old Civic starting up.

Cool Re : Maybe an IS

Thanks, gentlemen.

I believe that I too will become a Honda / Lexus man.
Lexus will probably go in the garage
