Options on my CTS are 18" polished aluminum wheels, performance collection, performance package, seating package and ultraview sunroof. Dealer didn't know what the constraints were. But from reading previous posts, it seems to be the polished wheels are in short supply. To me, the wheels with Black Raven paint make the car.

I now realize that I need to contact my sales rep. I signed the lease on October 26th - expected delivery date was said to be early January. I sincerely hope this is still the case.

I was lucky to find a dealer who had the black raven exterior, black interior and polished wheels. It looks great and worth your waiting for. The car looks and drives incredibly.

CTS order delay and constraints by hemi05

I ordered '08 CTS, Red, DI, AWD, PDQ on 10-16-07. Dealer told me on 11-19-07 that order delayed because of production constraints, but did not know details. Info at "wheels.com" lists current '08 CTS constraints at 11-23-07: manual tranny, "18 inch polished wheels", and "PDW". Anyone have additional info on constraints? Anyone take recent delivery with B20 wood package or PDQ "Premium Luxury Collection"?

hemi05 - I must have gotten in just under the wire, because I ordered my CTS on 9/26/07 (build date 10/15/07) and it was in by 10/29/07. I picked it up on 10/31/07. I have the PDW, 18" polished wheels, black on black, leather, U2S, wood trim (dash/doors only) and performance package. It was well worth the wait, what an awesome car.

sunroof question by maxhonda99

I'm looking to purchase a 08 CTS 3.6 DI auto in the next few months. I'm having a problem figuring out something on Cadillac's website. Is the only sunroof/moonroof option available the double-view sunroof? If I don't get the option does that mean I get not sunroof/moonroof at all?
 
BTW, drove it this past week..excellent car.. Hopefully trading in my '00 Acura TL. Drove the current TL also, CTS is a much better product.

A couple of sessions ago I mentioned I saw a "traditional" sunroof on a '08 CTS. Confirmed with the dealer that that was an aftermarket installation--the much maligned double panel roof is the only GM roof. Looked great. But when sitting in the car, in the back, it had negative headroom, i.e. my head was pushing up the headliner (and I'm 6 ft., but tend to slouch....). So if you'd be tempted to go that route, be careful.
 
To piggy back onto your question: Am I going to be forced to take the sunroof if I option some of the premium packages?

Does anyone know than how hard it is to get a 3.6 DI without a sunroof???
 
I'm looking for a pretty basic one, just with a couple of the basic luxury packages which total $2,600 for a total MSRP of under $38K.
 
I really don't want the double sunroof option which as you say would eat too much rear seat headroom, plus I bet the option adds at least 200lbs. to the weight of the car.

If the only problem with the sunroof option was the real passenger head room or the actual (100 lb excess weight) I would’ve bought the 08 CTS 3 months ago. That panoramic sunroof virtually has no sunshade; the hot California sun can penetrate in the summer through the translucent sunshade when you don’t need it.
 
I found out that if you don’t need the sunroof, you have to place a special order through the dealer; it takes Cadillac from 6 to 8 weeks to fill the order.

Have you driven the car on a hot sunny day and felt the heat of the sun through the sun shade, or are you assuming the problem because of the translucency of the shade?
 
The glass of the sunroof is UV coated and I wonder if this compensates for the lack of opacity.
