Raucous engine note at higher rpm, rough upshifts, elevated road noise. Did I misread this in edmunds review?

Funny... This Edmunds review of a G37 Sport MT says, "Wind and road noise were kept acceptably in check."
http://www.edmunds.com/infiniti/g37/2009/testdrivemanual2.html
 
The review you mentioned did say, "We found road noise to be an issue during highway cruising, though bear in mind that our test car had the Sport package's aggressive 18-inch performance tires, which aren't exactly optimized for quietness."

Consumers Reports gave the G37 Journey sedan (17" wheels) a half-red circle for Noise. That's a 4 out of 5 when converting it to a point system. (Higher is quieter)
 
For comparison, the Mercedes 350 gets a full red circle (5 points). The Honda Accord gets a half-circle. And as the previous poster noted most Lexus's are quiet and have the full-red circle.

That is true of the S. Makes a difference I'm having a hard time pulling the trigger on a 37 Journey. I'm ready to retire and want to make sure that the car doesn't have to much noise and is a good ride on long trips. I want to do some traveling. I have tested the 37 a few times but you only get so much out of that. I would be happy if it's better in noise and ride as my 02 Altima 3.5SE.

If you're serious about the G37 you might want to check this thread out as well: http://myg37.com/forums/g37-sedan/196529-g37-transmission-issues-with-4th-3rd-do- - wnshift.html
 
What other cars are you considering?
 
Edited to add:
 
As far as long rides go, although it's a very individual thing, I've read from some posters on other sites that the seats can get tiring after about an hour's drive or so. There are better seats out there, so if comfort is a major consideration and you prefer a quiter car, then the G may not be for you.
 
I've also read that the leather seats on the G tend to fade/wear rather quickly.

Same stuff as the 37 and RWD which limits me and under or at 40K. Could consider AWD like an 09 Audi A4 3.2 but hard pressed to get it off the lot at 40K.

The BMW 328i is under 40K, I think. Although it's supposedly less reliable than the G. It's tough. Everything has its trade-offs!

Have you looked at the BMW 1-series?
