Hey Bob, I know this is years late, but I hope you didn't go out and mail order a CTS. The Town Car was more like the DTS or older Deville, a soft, cushy ride. The CTS was one of the most overly stiff cars I have ever driven, like driving a car with no suspension (even after replacing all of the struts, which died prematurely I might add).

My mom has had both a Town Car (loved it) and a Volvo (hated it) so I know what you mean about the harsh ride on the Volvo. Mom currently owns a Lincoln MKZ. It is not as soft riding as the Town car, but much better than the Volvo. The soft suspension on the CTS is very acceptable. My wife loves these cars and we drove a couple when she was looking at another car purchase. Since we drove used ones (2-4 years old) I'd think that would be an even better indication of how they should ride than a brand new one. Both the ones we drive were basic V-6's with the softer suspension and smaller tires. The larger tires should ride even better.
