I've not watched the newest installment of the SATC series but Iv'e seen everything else. I'm dissapointed by this sudden lapse in consistancy but I'm not surprised. During the entirety of SATC it seems that the Characters have always been confusing contradictions who will suddenly act out of character to support the plot point. This isn't exactly exclusive to this series either. SATC has always had writing the runs between brilliant and utter crap and it's sometimes jarring. You would think that a show like this would do better, but they don't have to. It's sad when the writers of a series don't love the characters as much as the fans do.
