#22 of 68 2008 CTS AWD by jpenn Mar 12, 2006 (11:09 am)
According to the Sales Mgr at a local Caddy dealership the 2008 CTS AWD option is still up in the air. The problem is twofold, 1) the CTS is a rear wheel drive car with the engine facing forward (front to rear), they are having difficulty creating an AWD drivetrain which will fit the CTS 2) the STS AWD is priced at around 43-45K, if they fit the CTS with an AWD option the price break between the two will be minimal (similar to the Acura RL/TL dilemma). His guess is that Caddy will work it out to fit the CTS with AWD because of people like me who don't want an STS and who won't buy a CTS without AWD.   Let's hope that he's right.

I wonder what the new hp/tq numbers will be... The weight is also important. Will they bring it down?
#24 of 68 Built in China by phileaglesfan Mar 20, 2006 (6:57 pm)
I read the new CTS will also be built in China. I'm seriously concerned about quality issues. Cadillacs need to be built in North America. It even makes me more nervous since my 05 CTS V was unreliable and it was brand new and built in Michigan. Replies to this message: bhill2 (Mar 21, 2006 12:11 pm)

Replying to: phileaglesfan (Mar 20, 2006 6:57 pm) I suspect that what you read is that CTS's for the Chinese market will be built in China. GM is trying hard to get a piece of that rapidly expanding market.
#26 of 68 Questions - 2007 CTS by oldman26 Mar 21, 2006 (5:21 pm)
Does anyone know if the 2007 CTS: 1) will have a 6 speed automatic transmission, 2)be at the New York Auto Show 3) when will it be on sale? and is this the new "stunning" CTS that some writers have talked about or is it a face lift with an all new model coming in 2008?

I spoke with the PR person at the NY car show, he stated that Cadillac has not requested a press conference with his office, which means that the car will NOT be debuted at the show. He suggested that I call Cadillac, which I did and spoke to a very nice woman, who told me that the 2007 will go into production appox. May 7th 2006, I asked her if she knew if it was either a continuation of the 2006 style or the re-designed version. She didn't know and asked me to call back in 2-3 weeks.

Replying to: rayainsw (Mar 27, 2006 4:11 am) Sadly, no mention of ventilated seats.   Moreover, the dash still looks the same.   I guess we aren't seeing a telescoping steering wheel, either.

Looks like it's "get it on" time for this unit.   Click here for larger picture   Photo credit: Chris Doane for Brenda Priddy & Company    Though we'd hardly consider the Cadillac CTS V-Series ordinary, it’s clear this version is well beyond that performance CTS.   We last encountered the CTS Super V in testing at the Nürburgring (“Spied: Super V!, May 31, 2004), but this one—spotted recently by an alert spy shooter—appears much closer to production-ready. We’re told it’s the 2007 CTS Super V, and that it is powered by a 7.0-liter 505-hp LS7 V8 lifted directly from the Corvette Z06.   The Super V also features custom bodywork, huge rear tires, larger exhaust pipes and an engine sound unlike any other CTS.   With the new CTS slated for arrival as a 2008 model, speculation is that Cadillac will offer this exclusive model as a last hurrah for the exiting first-generation CTS.   If that’s not powerful enough, wait for the next-generation CTS Super V, which is rumored to be equipped with the LS9 engine—a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 with 600 hp. But you’ll be waiting at least until the 2010 or 2011 model year for that one.

It's an interesting article, but I have to wonder about the business decision to feature this car for just one model year, no matter how good it is. It doesn't sound like it would survive the "profitable business case" sniff test. The last time Caddy did something like that would be the '93 Allante, with the roof that finally worked and the 1st generation Northstar V8.   It could still be a test mule for the next generation CTS-V, but the article did say that the bodywork was a lot better than previous mules. Well, we'll find out soon enough.
