Did u not see the blackwood in person before u bought the car?......IMO it looks excellent.
The engine makes noise when u lift the hood?..... No way, really?
I guarantee from the inside its barely noticable.

As far as the headlights - IMO no car is perfect, especially a first year production, even if it is Lexus.

I suggest u visit mbworld.org and some bimmer forums, and read their horror stories of cars that are a few days old and not working.......Now thats disappointment.

Is that what that noise is? That ticking sound? Man it is loud actually. It's ok though I normally drive with the radio on pretty loud anyway.

We are clear on how you feel about your wife's new GS. I am curious how she feels about it. The ticking sound comes from the mechanical fuel pump and increases the fuel line pressure to 1,850 lbs. The pump is at the back part of the engine near the firewall and you can see it without taking off the engine cover. The sound is much more pronounced at idle and when you are outside the car. It is not nearly as noticable inside the car. Once you are attuned to a noise it can rattle around your brain like a ball bearing in a tin can so I know it must be torture to you. If your wife is upset about it see if Lexus can offer some type of noise reduction fix for you. Maybe it can be muffled and then again maybe it needs some air to help it cool. Some of these fuel pumps seem noisier than others and they may opt to replace it if it is abnormally loud. This engine is unlike any of your previous Lexus and more fuel efficient than any other in Lexus history. It also has excellent performance for its displacement. It has reduced emissions. It can be forgiven somewhat for its boisterous nature by its inherent ability to do the job. Again if possible could you describe your wife's attitude in general about her new GS? Are there any other issues that she has that you could share with CL? I will try to help if I can.
