So, am I correct in thinking that the Sport package doesn't change the suspension/ride at all for sedans?

I just saw some 2010 Anniversary Editions online, those are pretty hott. How likely am I to find one of those? A few quick searches found nothing....

Going to a dealer tomorrow to see what they are offering for end of the month specials, will let you guys know.

Thanks again for all the tips.

The Anniversary editions are nice, but I think those were 2011's (maybe why you can't find one).

If you're getting an X (awd) then no the sport doesn't change the suspension, if you're getting the RWD then yes it does. The sport also has a thicker rear sway bar and the quicker steering ratio. Just drive one back to back and you'll notice the differences.

I had an '09 Sedan (Sport/Nav) and just moved into a '12 Coupe (Sport/Nav) and am really enjoying the '12. The transmission is definitely smoother and less quirky (assuming you are going AT) and the new nav layout and 3d graphics are a bonus.

It really comes down to your budget and priorities though. The G holds its value quite well, so the depreciation factor is less than it would be in most of the other brands.

Take a look at them in person and, more importantly, drive a sport vs. non-sport model to ensure the stiffer springs and seats are to your taste. For me personally, it's a no-brainer...grippy brakes, thigh and torso bolsters, a little firmer ride are all a bonus in my book.

Good luck and enjoy it when you move forward...it's a great car whichever way you decide to go!
