Default Do all 430s have laminated double (acoustic) glass?

hallo everybody!

Is it true that windows in all packages (sport, premium and so on) are all double or not?

Thanks!

Alex

The door windows are laminated double glass only on Custom and Ultra Luxury packages. Others are single glass.

I thought so. I noticed my base 02 LS has a lot more wind and road noise, while my 05 Ultra Luxury is very quiet at a limes.

It's very noticeable...I test drove my CL and a ML back to back and noticed the CL a whole lot quieter and that's what sealed the deal for us.

I did not know about the glass difference. I actually think my UL can be a bit too quiet. Any little rattle inside the cabin starts to drive you crazy.

Interesting. I've never driven them back to back but whenever I get in a "regular" car it always seems extra loud to me.

I definitely notice when I drive my GF ES350. Although relatively quiet, it sounds a lot more airy than my ride.
