And I'm not talking about what Mick Jagger does when he's in his rocking chair at the retirement home, either.

When the TLS is idling, do you ever feel a slight very low-frequency rocking motion? It's almost undetectable, but if you sit in the driver's seat while the car is parked and idling and look down you may get seasick. I wonder if it's the fluid engine mounts "sloshing" and letting the engine rock back and forth ever so slightly.

I've noticed this along time ago, but the dealer nor I knew what this was! It's almost like a coldstart, without the noise, but with the motion excepts it's constant!

Are you referring to a "lope" at idle or "rough" idle? They can feel very similar.

The TLS however does have a lope due to the more aggressive cam. And with the higher compression it can even be heard in the exhaust. I love it! Not as righteous as a good throaty V8 with a real healthy cam and exhaust, but still noticeable.

Ah, if only it had more torque, some better gearing and meatier tires. Sigh.
