Need help regarding Quattroporte

What is the different between Sport GT and normal one for the exterior? I only notice the different type of rims, anything else?
And how does the duoselect sport GT perform in traffic?

Thank you in advance.

On the exterior the differences are:

Base QP = wheels and front grille has horizontal bars instead of mesh

Exec GT QP = wheels, the mesh grilles on the front and behind the front wheels are chrome and the Exec GT badge on the b-pillars

Sport GT QP = wheels, the mesh grilles are black and the Sport GT badge on the b-pillars

My preference was the AT as I have heard lots of people say the duo select is jerky and hard to drive smoothly in traffic.

I agree. I drove both an auto QP and a duoselect QP around a year back. The ZF box doesn't really lose out in terms of shifting times , yet provides so much more in terms of smoothness.

Also a feature of the QP Sport GT S is, the ride height is a tad lower than the other QP models.

Is it through a dealer or individual. Also check and see where your nearest dealer is for maintenance.

seems like a good deal but you have to keep in mind that the facelifted model has just been released so i'd say alot of dealers would be trying to move '08 stock, doesn't make the car any less amazing though.

mostly cosmetic, new 4.7 v8 from granturismo s for quattroporte s. running around 430hp i think. New entertainment system, given the choice i think i'd probably stick with a gts,
