Hmmm... coming inot the discussion rather late, but: my car does this, too.
I've narrowed it down to the driver's side rear wheel. The squeak's there
between 30-50 mph (irritating, since it's city and rural road speeds).
Sounds stupid, and my car doesn't look that good at the moment, too. I've
read in the Dutch AutoWeek about a guy who had a similar car, two years
younger than mine, that did the same. Dealer couldn't trace it, and had
replaced bearings, suspension stuff, brakes...

If I have the time, I'll investigate this weekend.
