I guess what I am asking... about what percentage of the "more stiff ride" of the Sport would you say comes from the Wheels/Tires and what percentage comes from the rest of the Sport features?

Bad move IMO.
I was debating getting a 6MT TL w/NAV and could've gotten one near $31k after some heavy negotiating.
Looks like it'll be closer to $36k for a 6MT TL now.

Yeah, that is probably my dream configuration. Hopefully the price will be within my reality! I can't wait to see/drive one in person.

It's very funny to see how some current g owner.....
bashing at the new g in the OLD G sedan forum, saying how much they hate the new g, it's too quiet, it's not original...blah blah blah
that they rather stay with their 2005 and 2006 g.
Actually I can understand why they hate the new G..... can you? LOL

under "Movement" : "Sport Model" description does not mention the suspension and then the "Show Me" button mentions 6 things but not the suspension.
I believe you since you have one on order but I have not seen anything official that says sport tuned suspension for the sport model. Has anyone?
I did see in C&D's review that said:
"the Sport 6MT employs firmer rear dampers and harder steering-rack bushings"

All I can go by is the specification sheet my dealer sent me....which states that the Sport model receives a Sport tuned suspension with sport tuned VDC. IMO, there is no question that a Sport model will ride firmer than a non sport model. Just me .02 cents.
