Is it me or am I just used to a v8 engine of my 98 GS400? Of course, when sitting inside the car, you don't hear anything, but when outside (and the car is on) the v6 is just loud.
Has anyone thought the same or is it me thinking to much?

I think that was very first thing I noticed about my car when I first got it. I pulled into a drive thru bank window and I was freaking out at how it sounded. I couldnt believe that my G35 with 130k on it would idle quieter than my brand new 50k Lexus.
direct inject can yield 10-15% better mpg while adding 5-10% more power. The issue is that the system runs at an extremely high pressure so its going to make more noise

I think most of the concern is people just not wanting anything to be wrong with their engines. My bike has really ticky valves and almost everybody on that forum used to post "is something wrong it's so noisy!". Not that you can hear a damn thing when you're riding it but noises people aren't familiar with are just scary.
