I don't notice any wind noise on mine but then again this is the quietest car I have ever owned.
I concur, it's very quiet (engine+CVT combo) and maybe that's why we notice wind noise - but on the other hand my dealer also replaced my passenger window yesterday with dual-pane acoustic glass so both front are acoustic now -boy what a difference - must be at least 3-6dB less wind noise vs single pane (2-4 times less noise). You can literally whisper inside the car @ 130km/h on the freeway now - very happy
Interesting. What does the CWP contain? I thought it was heated steering wheel, x2 pane front glass, and headlight washer. Anything I missed? My 2015 doesn't have the headlight washers but does have double pane glass and heated steering wheel. I don't remember the build sheet saying it's got CWP.

Sal, you have a valid point - one I brought up earlier in the thread. I guess based on user feedback (i.e. wind noise issues) Lexus decided to make front dual-pane glass standard (my dealer said something like 2014 onward). Re CWP, I think you forgot the front heated seats (heated rears I think they're part of the luxury pack, which adds cooled fronts)

Probably. Mine is not lux and doesn't have heated rear seats but the fronts are cooled and heated.
I have a '13 with the Luxury and Cold Wx Package. You were able to get the heated front seats, or both front and rear - the price for adding the heated rear seats was a bit over $440, IIRC.
I see people like yourself saying this a lot, but the Cold Weather Package does not list the double pane front glass. My car does not have the CWP, does have the double pane front glass, and has ALL of the CWP options EXCEPT the wiper de-icers (damn!). Lexus certainly is weird with all their randomness and customization.
From the 2015 GS 350 brochure, the Water Repellant front door glass is mentioned, but not double pane:

That's odd, my base 2013 GS 450h has the acoustic glass.
