I am crazee

I posted a while back stating i thought the 2007 e was louder at idle than the 2006 e. Kinda sounds like a diesel, ticking.

anyhow I went to the dealer and he said they all sound like that. then went on to point out how great the 2007 was vs the 2006. Thanks for the pitch but do i need it from a service advisor.....anyhow

Until i get a 2008 to compare not much I can do. gotta say though lexus is not my cup o' tea but at idle they are silent. exhasut i understand but engine noise is weak.

I don't think you're crazy--you didn't say whether it was a 550 or a 350. I bought a 550 back in Jan, and the thing makes a noise at, and just above, idle. Kind of a clanging-ish sort of noise--like something in the exhaust system is banging around. I've just hit 1000 miles, and I'll give it a little more time before I take it in to be listened to. I've posted about this a week or so back under the heading of 2007 E550 Engine Noise.
