I hate to say this, and never thought I woudl for this car but my IS250 feels cheap....
Everytime I get in the center console squeeks and cracks like cheap plastic when I transfer my weight.....also
When drving and I go over a bump the entire dash squeeks and cracks like cheap plastic. I have rattles in the dash that just rattle as I drive down the street.
I love the car but it is really bothering me....how do I complain about something like this to the dealer, I mean what can they really do about finding numerious squeeks/cracking sounds that I have.

Physics is hard to beat, even for a Lexus.

I’ve said this with all my cars and my Lexus is no different (even though I don’t have any yet)... try creating a device like a car that rolls around on rough rocks all day long with a half million bolts holding things together and not have any thing loosen up or eventually rub and make noise.

My 2000 Nissan Maxima had zero rattles during the four years I owned it. I haven't experienced rattles like I have in my Lexus since I owned a 94 Saturn...I think that speaks for itself.

Obviously you've never owned a MkIV Supra. I've never owned anything more noisy, and only a 2 1/2 ton diesel truck can compete for cabin noises.

Talking about "cheap" (and dollar for dollar), there is no car with a cheaper feeling when sitting inside than the 3 series BMWs.

Any car would have some problems big or small and you just have to tell the service guy and ask them to solve it! My Dad has a M-Benz SLK200 and it has some electronic noise that they couldn't fix still not! So what say you!

Of course I put the interior together myself and adjusted everything perfectly- but they have very stiff rides and I dont have a single rattle in either of them- not to mention the motor vibrates the entire car-
My IS350 also has no rattles either though- 10K miles and counting

My 65 and my 67 Mustangs have no rattles or squeaks at all-

It probably has 3 times more noise from squeaks then the IS350. The "problem" with the IS350 is the interior is 10 times quieter then a Mustang so you heard internal squeaks more.

go to the dealership and get them to take care of the dash squeaks and rattles. it's a known issue for 2is owners.
