Yep. It is 10x worse if you have a "hefty" aftermarket exhaust.
Is it the drone of the exhaust. And I thought having a louder exhaust would drown out the annoying rattles

Thanx for all the hints. Once the hectic holidays are over Ill try to get this rattle taken care of. Just one question, why is it that the sl 500 and sc 300 never rattles? Id hate to think mercedes and lexus are better quality cars.

Because they are luxury cars, not sports cars With stiff suspension comes more rattles, I gather...

I'm pretty bummed to hear that you guys all have rattles - I have a few in my car and they drive me nuts, was hoping they'd be gone in a P-car.

Same here. I also say F__It now too. I tell myself it's a racecar, not a lexus. Besides, the rattles and squeeks all disappear when I'm driving at 9/10's

Specifically, my passenger side airbag cover rattles, and the rear quarters squeeks when crossing driveways.

I'm thinking of injecting some expanding foam in there to stop it

Like we would be THAT lucky to solve the problem so easily.
