Streamliner, how would you compare the quietness and ride quality of your current cars to the Lexus LS? That was one of the other cars I seriously considered before ordering an E300.

I only ever owned top line LS sedans with the air suspension option from Lexus. Compared to any of them, I feel that both my previous 2013 W221 S550 and my current 2015 W222 S550 are superior to any of them, in both ride quality and quietness. Compared to my wife's 2016 W212 E350 Luxury model sedan, I would have to say that all of the Lexus sedans had a better ride quality and were quieter, even back to my first 1993 LS400.
