LS 460 Evolution...

i am sure the new ls will be even quieter than it is now, which is almost ridiculous imho (are you still going to hear the siren?)

The engine noise from the Lexus V8s is already perfect... doesn't need to get any quieter. But wind noise, cabin noise over bumps, etc still has room for improvement. Don't get me wrong, it's the best of the best, but that doesn't mean they shouldn't keep improving.
In fact I'm left wondering why they haven't implemented noise cancelation such as the Acura RL did - very inexpensive and proven technology using the existing audio system to reduce road noise and such at the gain of literally no weight (or in the Acuras case they used it as a way to take some sound deadener out while maintaining good noise reduction and making the new RL lighter.

and i think enigma means from the inside. sometimes it's more about cranking your car again thinking it's not started. trust me i have seen it couple of times people try to start their already started lexus. ouch that hurts

I'm starting to think the 'engine on!' related instrumentation should be made bigger; a voice warning added...
...even the locking beep tone, which is so smart already it reminds you if you left your keys in, or a door is open, etc etc...may be adjusted.
