On the current 996, it feels and makes the same sound as closing a Lexus door…in other words…CHEAP!

I'd like him to provide the factual evidence he has first hand of a Lexus door feeling cheap.

They were probebly refering to the cheap way that an LS430 door shuts for you. Yeah yeah ... that is it ... the cheap sound of a car shutting the door for you.

this is hilarious. i found the lexus doors to be very solid and close very nice (sound as well). my old acura doors close definitely not as solid. dunno what this guy is talking about.

While I don't think Lexus doors sound cheap when they close, they don't compare to some German cars that feel/sound like a vault door shutting. That might be what he is saying - just came off wrong.
