Replying to: carfanatic007 (Sep 30, 2007 6:03 pm) must be the ad dollars at work. Why else would they praise this mediocre car? Oh wait, they probably just want you to buy American. Replies to this message: ggurr54 (Oct 01, 2007 4:13 pm)

Replying to: cdnpinhead (Sep 28, 2007 12:29 pm) I think quite well, since there's a huge "buy American" group out there.   Huh? Where exactly is this buy american group? China? Certainly not here in the states. If you've been watching GM's (or the big 3 in total)market share drop year after year, how do you come to that conclusion? The only people who but american nowadays are rental car companies. The average consumer buys anything BUT american.

Replying to: carfanatic007 (Sep 30, 2007 6:03 pm) I read that review by Warren Brown. I have a lot of respect for his reviews; he's usually spot on. He does seem to try to find some positive in his vehicle reviews. I purchased my '96 Olds LSS based on his glowing review, and he was exactly right--most enjoyable, trouble free car I had owned until that time. I will definitely consider the new CTS when I start shopping next spring for my next vehicle.   I also thought his article on the next page about Unions was accurate too.

#1446 of 2757 Front end scrapes? by vic10 Oct 02, 2007 (7:12 am)
For those who are currently driving one, how many have struck pavement or curves with the front air-dam/bumper? Ground clearance looked to be very minimum. I'd probably have to back into my driveway.... Replies to this message: jdavis12 (Oct 02, 2007 8:28 am) cosmo13 (Oct 02, 2007 11:47 am) hwiseley (Oct 02, 2007 4:23 pm)

Replying to: vic10 (Oct 02, 2007 7:12 am) I have come very close to running that front skirt aground but so far, no damage. I did witness my dealer drive another one over a parking turtle, scraping the lower piece - no question you can't pull all the way in a parking space without risk of hitting a curb or parking barrier. An earlier post indicated there may be a problem with car wash wheel rails hitting the bumper. Replies to this message: cosmo13 (Oct 02, 2007 11:47 am)

Replying to: jdavis12 (Oct 02, 2007 8:28 am) I have had my 2008 CTS since September 12th. Bumped into several high curbs and scratched the gray piece of plastic. The dealer told me that I could take some very fine sandpaper and knock the burrs off the edge of the plastic. Any other suggestions. I plan to have the car hand washed to avoid any brushes, clothes or other devices that might scratch or leave marks on the paint.   I ordered in June and my CTS was the first to be delivered from my dealer on September 12th.

Uggggh. I was soooo looking forward to this car and with the mostly glowing reviews, it seems the one complaint is the general porkiness of the car. 4100 pounds isn't class competitive, nor are mid 6 second zero to sixty times. I guess I had the fantasy of 335i type performance...   That said, this is one seriously good looking ride. I've only seen a few on the road so far and they are SUPER sharp looking. The interior looks amazing and i can only imagine what they'll do for the CTS-v. Contrast stitching on the dashboard, perhaps?   Big sales this month, too, from what I've read. This car has major hit written all over it. Replies to this message: jdavis12 (Oct 02, 2007 2:43 pm)
