I dont know, since I am waiting for my 4.4 to be built later in November.

Depending on where you live. I prefer a car that handles best on dry pavement. From what I hear, its not the Sport pkg that is so critical, its keeping more of decision to put 17 or 18" Wheels and tires on your X, during the snow period. I am going to buy an extra set of wheels and tires. yeah I know its more money, but thats exactly the point, its only money. Buy right, feel good about it, and have a good time, You only live once.

I am also looking at a 2002 sp 3.0... and the dealer said the tires dont handel as well in the snow... any comments!
We have a 2001 (3.0i) Sport and love the ride and handling. Not too harsh and very stable at highway speeds, especially in the wind.
