Yeah, my wife's R/T front end does what Baldylox describes......doing pushups on the bumper. It IS stiff, but does travel 2-3 inches once it's "going".
Not sure which of the three dealerships in your area you got it from, but I'd try one of the other two and see if they can find something wrong that your dealership can't find/hasn't found.

Finally, got a phone call from the dealership late yesterday. I'll call him this morning. I'm wondering if it has the wrong suspension on it - really, guys, I just can't emphasize how much of a difference there was between mine and the one I "test" drove for comparison. Going to try and get things set up so I can go in Saturday morning and really have the time to spend with them.

Marty - if I didn't know better, I'd say it DOES have a solid "tail" - and front, too! That's the way it rides. Then, on larger, rolling type "bumps" it almost seems to wallow, but not really. It just gets really soft and, on occasion, I have bottomed the front out.

Dave, I went out and pushed on the rear -- yep, 2" or 3" of rear travel. Front was about 1 or 2. But the front was much stiffer. If this helps you determine something, there it is.
