So.. you think this M is soft? Odd. As for the Avalon bit, if you wish to insult people with hyperbole, knock yourself out. Would be nice to see something more interesting but I suppose my expectations are too high.

In any case, hopefully most, if not all, realize that the db level has absolutely nothing to do with how soft the car is. The level of a M3 or 911 would be a bit loud but acceptable. You get up to 72db in only a few really cheap cars, some convertibles, and dedicated track machines. For reference that's a bit louder than a loud restaurant where you have to raise your voice to talk to the person across the table. And that's just at 70mph cruise. Imagine during acceleration or over bad roads. Every single day. Going to get really old really fast not being able to carry on a conversation without yelling.
