#1380 of 1380 Well. . . by cdnpinhead Sep 19, 2007 (2:42 pm)
I started wondering if Rockylee had been reincarnated with a new screen name, but apparently not. He's still posting elsewhere these days, but doesn't want to participate here or in the Entry-Level board, now that there actually is an '08 CTS. Strange, given his previous history.
  
I'd thought some of the recent cheerleading might have been him. Guess again.

============================================================
 
When you're wrong you're wrong. It's a simple as that.
 
Other people may back down in the face of untruthfulness so as to avoid being painted as a "fanboy" or as a "rockylee" (whatever that is); but that is irrelevant to me.
All of that strikes me as rather immature; and I suppose the people who are discussing this car on Edmunds would be old enough to buy one.
 
All substantial criticisms of the car will stand up to the facts.
 
All others will wither away or hide behind pejorative titles and name-calling. I have no time for that.
 
You take care of yourself.

"cheerleading" is the politically correct word; I thought they're GM's agents.

====================================
 
Not any more than somebody spreading demonstrable falsehoods (compulsively or not) about it, would be a "BMW agent".
Occam's Razor precludes both, and rather suggests simpler motivations. There isn't even any evidence that "agents" exist.

...it's about the CAR, not each other. Disagreeing with someone else is fine, but let's leave the personal assumptions and accusations at the door.
 
Thanks for your cooperation.

flinging mud at anyone, but expressing disappointment that a strong (to put it mildly) advocate of the (at the time) "next" CTS isn't here to discuss it, now that it actually exists.
 
There was much discussion at the time about the futility of comparing the virtues of a non-existent vehicle to those actually available.
 
Now they're all up and running, but some appear to have run farther than others.

2 weeks new and some minor issues by jdavis12

I'm the proud owner of one of the first vehicles off the truck at my local dealer but may be paying the price for jumping the gun. I'm still overwhelmingly happy with the car but am already getting to know the service manager a bit too well.
 
Are any of you new owners out there experiencing the following or other problems?
 
* Excessive wind noise through the sunroof (needs tightening). I'm one of the few who actually purposely bought this car with a sunroof - the flimsy retractable semi-shade doesn't bother me at all.
* Oil pressure fluctuates rapidly between 35 and top of 80 during normal driving. Calling dealer in the morning as this one scares me a bit.
* Steering wheel shakes like a leaf at 70+ (likely a front wheel balance issue)
* Minor fit issue with Rt front bumper cover and Rt rear of rocker applique. Lt side of car is perfect!

Just got the price for bluetooth adder $500 seems kinda steep for something they should have included. I understand this is an ALPINE unit and the sell the device themselves for $250 but that means you have to install the unit and locate the mic. which could be a real pain.
   Also has anyone herd anything about the wood shift nob and steering wheel.

My dealer says that the wood steering wheel and shift knob option is constrained right now. If you want it, you'll have to wait. How long, I have no idea.

No- I have not had any of the issues mentioned. However, when I picked up the vehicle (3 weeks ago the day after it was delivered to the dealership) the XM antenna wire had been pinched so it had to be replaced. Regarding the lack of bluetooth, I thought it would be a big issue but I dug out my old BT headset and have no complaints.
 
Absolutely love the car.....anxious to see how it will do in the snow (AWD), particularly with the seemingly low front bumper. I've driven an SUV for years and may be a bit spoiled.

If you want a spare tire - it's an added cost option!
 
I don't think so. More GM customer manipulation - the reason I haven't owned GM for several years.
 
When we "looked" at the car yesterday we noted: It's a beautiful car - in and out. My wife (5'3" and 130 lbs) commented about the uncomfortable seats.
