Thanks for the thorough and useful update. We're about to order a 35d except w/o as many options except sport activity, the required leather with that, 20" wheels, roof rails, and maybe running boards.

We were disappointed to realize that the SA package does not include a firmer suspension unless you pay extra for the adaptive drive.

Test driving used models, we could definitely tell the difference in a 4.8 with sport pkg, 20" wheels, and a 3.0 w/o it. It really felt like a BMW with the former setup. More like the Acura MDX w/o it. Coming from a mini van I'm sure yours handles amazing in comparison, but we prefer firmer rather than softer even if the ride suffers some.

Does anyone know if 2011 is tuned firmer in the first place than previous year models? Our dealer had ZERO 2011's on the lot to try.
