Cars are very complex. They will rattle, ESPECIALLY more, as more cars have FIRMER suspensions with LOW PROFILE tires.
Instead of cushy cars that won't squeak or rattle, we now have very tight cars, with stiff suspensions and stiff frames.
HArder to hide a rattle, when one does happen.
Also, EVERY company cuts costs.

=meowCat;3276493]What about the new Hyundai Genesis?
And what the hell happened to the IS350 cars?... why do they get rattles... They're made in Japan, by Japanese hands with passion.
wut... did they get sloppy too?

I thought the Acura TL is pretty much the one that had most issues with the rattles among its competitors..

I can't comment on ALL new Infiniti G's, but the couple of new G35's I have had extensive experience with proved this to be true. The build and materials quality of the new G35 vs. the old G35 is like comparing the interior of an early 90's Hyundai and a last generation Lexus LS. The difference, IMO, is remarkable.

Well, because the new model luxury cars put more insulations and all kind of the new technologies to make car quieter. Now, the car insulated from all the noise outside the car and you feel like in the library so you ears will pick up all the little noise inside the car.
Imagine you are sitting in the library reading a book and people at another end turn the page of the book he or she is reading and your ears picking up that noise.In the mean time, you are at the sport bar drinking will your buddies and you can not hear the phone ring and your girlfriend p!!sed off because you don't answer her phone call...so you ain't get nothing that night...lol.![Big Grin](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
When your ears tuned into the certain noise you will find out that you pay more attention to that particular noise.
Rattle and squeaking in cars can happened depending on temperature, road surface, speed and a lot of things. My 1992 Camry don't have any rattle or squeaking because I can't hear the darn thing due to the road noise, tire noise and so on. Funny that the Ferrari's owners never complaint about rattle when you have a V-8 or V-12 screaming right behind you...

Library-quiet rides are not just limited to luxury cars either. Drive a new Chevy Malibu or Saturn Aura (both are done on the same platform and body), particularly the V6, and you will see what I mean.

So after having my IS250 for a whopping 2 months my car has developed the incessant rattles and squeaks that plague the car. I knew about this going in so it's not killing me, but it kinda leaves me wondering if rattles in all levels of luxury cars are becoming way too common. What do you think?

I believe you about the Malibu and the Aura, but when you isolated yourself from the rest of the world you will hear things..I mean things that you've never hear before.That's my point.

Also, people are f.o.s on the internet, you have those that exaggerate rattles and those that have cars that rattle but for whatever reason won't state that.
So you have to filter it all and see for yourself.

I don't know why this is, but almost all the BMWs I've driven have been rattle-free. (something I'm very **** about)
The new BMWs have crappy interior material quality, but they're still rattle free and feel very tight. I don't know why/how that is.

Especially older BMWs, I rode in a pals 540-6 and I mean this is a 10 year old car and it felt solid as a rock, more solid than my 01 GS.
