I have purchased an 09 with sport package, I am underwhelmed. It is just not the same as my E53 4.8.. It just kinds of goes along mushy, soft ride, vague steering, vague brakes,..... etc.........

I am sure that was the intent, to make a smooth riding comfortable vehicle, but it just does not have that edgy feel anymore. It has adequate power, the ride is nice, my daughters love the seats better in the back, overall nice car, but its just not a sports SAV in the same way my 06 4.8IS was.

Is it just me or is this been a similar observation by others making a similar switch?

Thanks.
