Default Lexus quality = Hyundai quality?

I took my 997S cab in for service today and they gave me a ride home in a Hyundai Entourage minivan. As we were going down the road, I heard a very familiar clicking sound. It sounded just like the sound coming from the right dash speaker area! I think it's pretty sad that my GS makes the same sound as a Hyundai minivan. What's even worse is that I think the Hyundai's rattle was coming from the cupholder so it is probably an easy fix whereas mine will never be fixed.

Actually what's pretty sad is the fact that you didn't get a loner for service on your 100k car and you get a ride home in a frikkin Hyundai minivan They should at least have the respect to drop you off in a Cayenne

Actually, larger Porsche dealerships normally provide Boxster loaners but my local dealership is pretty small so they don't have them. I got a ride home in a Cayenne Turbo the last time I went in.

Yeah, but that's more for the Porsche forum. All you'd get here is the inevitable customer service comparison with Lexus dealerships.
