when i get an ES loaner I tend to notice that is has significantly more wind noise, but less tire noise. And it feels like it's very easy to overwhelm the front tires with the relatively powerful engine. Makes you appreciate AWD/RWD as so much better balanced.

Yeah the tires are bigger and are for traveling longer distance. My only issue I have with Lexus and hopefully the upcoming GSh will change that, is the fit and finish inside although not kia and Hyundai quality it should soft to the touch which I blame the cause of our dash rattles to. Hence the reason why the ES doesn't have any.

Could the fact that it's FWD be the reason why it's quieter? Just curious..
HAHA, just the other day a freind of mine said the same exact thing lol... typical khaleeji saying!. "Camry Grande"
