How about this for a concept: At WOT or during aggressive driving the engine and exhaust noise should sound like a sports car. Or cruising with the windows down should offer the sports car experience.
But going on a 400 mile round trip freeway cruise at 75 MPH and with a passenger shouldn't cause you to have to talk in a very loud voice to have a conversation, or have to turn the stereo up to 15 just to enjoy some tunes, or leave you fatigued from the excessive noise level either.
This car is a GT. I find no discomfort from the ride or the seats on long drives but the road noise really is unacceptable.
