if you guys want to get technical, it's called the Bernoulli's Principle, it'll be just too funny if the OP didn't post about this and went on with the trade for a ES350 and found out it does the same thing and now stuck with a lower end vehicle.

The bottom line is, the ES is a nice car but not in the same league as the GS.

While the ES is popular with those over 50, I've seen my share fair in the GS as well and a few under 50 in the ES.

The ES is fantastic but I do agree, the GS is the superior vehicle. The ES offers a nice optional panamara roof, a larger interior/trunk and possibly better gas mileage.

The only way i can think of to solve your problem is to buy a coupe..no rear windows to roll down or make noise

I dont think i have ever been inside of a 4dr car that didnt make that sound.

For Chrissakes, the ES is still a Lexus: semi-aniline leather, ML, gen 5 Nav, Park Assist, the UL has a panoramic roof - lets no get TOO carried away...

LOL yeah, Ford Taurus... That was my first car w00t w00t!

As for the trade, I say go for it. One less 3GS owner on the road.

please do not trade in the GS for the ES

Like everyone says, it happens in all cars just don't drive with the rear windows down.. At least crack the front windows a little bit.. If anything, get a sunroof reflector and the side window visors.. That might help a bit...
