Default 08 Accord EXl Coupe Rough Ride

I picked up my new EX-L Coupe 3 weeks ago and it rides like a Mack Truck, you feel every crack in the road, every pot hole patch etc. I went over a railroad crossing and my teeth rattled. This is the worse riding Honda I've owned or ridden in. Anyone experiencing this problem??? I'm happy with everything else (so far). If this is normal I will be getting rid of it reguardless of what it will cost me. Thanks for all responses.
PS when I test drove the car with the salesman he directed the route, I didn't think anything of it then, maybe I should have been suspicious then.......

Smok10,

Do you have 18" wheels. I have a 2008 EX-L V6 and the low profile tires make for a max feel ride. Do you also have any steering wheel shimmy?? Very slight?? See Amber's later post. You could ask your dealership to put on a test set of 17" wheel/tires. Try thatride and see if you like it. OtherwiseI agree with you on the increased harshness of the ride.
