Depends a lot on options. 55 nose 45 rear is probably pretty close although I've also seen 60/40. My car, as it currently sits, is 60/40.
Use the search feature and look for vehicle weight. There was a thread a while ago listing the different models and what the weights were.
The only way to find out what "your" car is will be to drive it across a scale. Drive the front wheels on and take a weight. Drive the whole car on and take a weight. Drive off and stop with just the rear wheels on and take a weight. The front and rear weights should equal the total. Weigh it with driver since a proper weight ratio means nothing without a driver driving the car around.

I've heard the 54/46 number before too, I'm wondering if that was for a I4 or a V6. Over the summer I weighed mine and it came up 60/40 (no spare tire, 6 pnt roll bars, AC delete, rear seat delete).
Over the winter the nose is going on a diet, fiberglass hood, aluminum bumper and light weight battery.
