A Lexus sales person told me that the car had direct injection. Apparently, he was incorrect. There's no reason to get rude. I was misinformed. I'm not comparing my car to the GS. It's obviously a very different car. The point I was making is that there is a ticking/diesel sound that is prominent from the ES350 as well. It seems that the GS owners have learned to get along with it and the ES350 owners are having a more difficult time. Have a nice day.

whenit runs it sounds like an electric car(especially for people with previously tuned cars), but at idle it sounds like ****t(especially in drive thru's). I want to put an intake on the car but I am hearing it may trigger VSC lights.

I first noticed it at a drive-thru and thought something was wrong. It's noticeably louder than the 2GS. I even made the Lexus dealer check it at the 1000 mile checkup. They probably thought I was crazy,...
