Yeah they're BUILT. Leather is softer, yet more durable than any of GM'* cars... All the switches use just about the same amount of force, etc.. Very well designed cars!
IMO its an upgrade from the GXP, you're just not as new.. Auto right?

Looks real nice, I almost got a 95' 750il but it had too many problems. Is was hard to let go though. $3500 for a V12 powered car is tempting.
My LSS seems real solid. Especially the door panels. At the auto show this year I gave the door panels on all the cars a good shake and only the Lexus were as tight. I don't know why GM only makes quality interiors on select vehicles and then just skimps on all the other cars. Like on my neighbors Grand Prix, you could pull the flimsy door panels literally 2 inches. 
My father always had American cars (from all the big 3: GMs, Fords, and Chryslers) and one thing that always pissed me off about them (and about my SSEi) is exactly what your talking about. My dad'* Ford Bronco is the worst offender of this both inside and out, as you drive down the road the whole thing just rolls around and body panels are cracking and popping and the interior plastics are banging around against each other. Sounds like the freaking this is always falling apart...my SSEi has all kinds of flex/creeking/noises too but its no where near as bad as the Bronco my dad has. I think the newer GM vehicles are better though, because I have been in some newer Chevy Impalas (06 or 07) and it seemed pretty freaking solid compared to the older GM and other american cars.
