Hey!I thought you all were audiophiles!? If you really care about audio you have to drive a quiet ride. Googling came up with Lexus ES350, Buick Lucerne, the Toyota Camry XLE, Acura TL, Lincoln MKZ, Chevy Malibu, Toyota Sienna, Mercury Marquis. But frankly, I did not find a real head to head listing by quietness!?!? Pfui! I have a suspicion there is a quiet Hyundai and maybe a quiet BMW or Mercedes...but then the Europeans put handling ahead of quiet as best I can tell. I cannot afford a Mercedes V-12. Frankly, the ergonomics of the websites and the pathetic automobile writers worthless priorities exacerbate the decision process. Like what is so hard about taking the cars over the same rough road and measure the DB via a MIC and a laptop or ...?!?! You just need a constant reference. And then there is the noisy versus quiet tire issue...... For the price I am impressed with the Riken Raptor tire for service and quiet and it is an inexpensive tire division of Michelin. Did you know that whitewalls are rarely an option today? I have one of the last sets Michelin made on my Cadillac and i gotta tell you. The exact car in blackwall looks like cra, period. It is not a subjective thing. Blackwalls are bar brawl rough period and were foisted on the public by group think with the help if the infamous auto writers. Leadership decline everywhere in this society. Any one really think PBS ia as good today as it was thirty years ago? i digress. PS as much as I despise internet music streaming it sure allows opening up exposure. I have the tune in app on my iPhone and am listening to some piano jazz station as I am writing this and... the music is incredible. I don't know about the sound compared to my SACD but the music... I'm happy.
