Rose glasses mate. It is definitely outdated. If you took a sample of non Lexus or BMW owners and asked them to compare whether the 5er or Lexus interior is more up to date, it would be no contest. I agree the E interior is not great either.

Hey man, you drive on butter smooth roads in Cali, so rattle and creeks are less of your concerns. Drive to the East Coast where snow plows, and constant WWII trench road constructions take place on a daily basis, and then you"ll see and hear what we all have been talking about. I cringe with anger the first time my I drove my car in NYC, I thought my suspension was done after my midtown experience.

My GS had a dash rattle, sunroof rattle, and a squeaky console for the entire time I owned it. I loved the car but after driving my LS460 for 6 weeks it just makes you realize that the GS has issues . Im not saying that the LS is perfect but it doesnt make any noise at all
