I really start to believe that the cars built in the US are built to different standard than the ones that are build in EU, at least for the EU market. The noise level in my car is perfectly ok, you can have a decent conversation even at 190km/h without raising your voice. Yes, there is some tyre noise on rough / abrasive asphalt (but on the other hand the Michelin Primacy 3 235/45R17 are tyres on the noisy side at 72dB vs 67-68) but other than that, no real engine noise, wind noise, traffic noise, etc.
Also, seen a lot of body panel fitment issues which seem to be happening for body styles built in the US. Maybe some cost cutting to keep the price low, also lower than EU?
