Disagree... bulk of german luxury models (x3,x5,x7,glc,gle,gls) are rwd or awd. Yes they offer some 'cheaper' ones that are fwd. and the telluride and palisade are impressive to be sure, as 'premium' value models, but with nothing special under the hood and if you look at their side profiles, they're not exactly elegant.

Now that I have the S560, the difference in isolation from road noise is remarkable. If anything, wind noise and exterior vehicle noise is louder than it was in the LS, but the difference in road noise makes the S feel overall quieter. If Lexus or Genesis could pair Mercedes' ability to dampen road noise with their already excellent way of limiting wind and ambient noise then their cars would really be extraordinarily quiet.
of course the electric drivetrain eliminates the engine noise but these days on ICE cars that seems less of an issue than road/wind, etc.
yes, A/B mb series sedans and cuvs and bmw 1/2 series (except 2 series coupe) are fwd-based. but that still leaves the large majority of their models rwd-based.

Been monitoring the Genesis forum and an unlucky member already have major issues with the eLSD, has to wait 2 months for repair. I think he/she mentioned seeing same issue pop up in some other forums. Good thing the eLSD is an optional package.
