I just bought the E55T in Hong Kong. I chose the station wagon because of the more balance weight distrubution. It gainned a little bit weight at the back. Plus I needed something that look more conservative than the E55. I read the different suspension system between the two, the E55T had a self leveling suspension. I am not really sure the purpose of it, I knew it won't help the conering or handling of the car. My guess was
that the larger the trunk size there is, the more things we'll put in it which adds alot of weight and the suspension kept it level....
True/Not True, comment?
p.s. E55T interior sounded very loose too.

My guess would be that the cargo-carrying nature of a wagon is what has the self-leveling rear suspension back there.

Hope this helps...Lee

Yes, self-leveling keeps the rear level regardless the load.

BTW, what do you mean by the interior is loose??

E55T is a very unique car, and I am sure you will enjoy it very much....

Have fun with E55T...
