If you want LL1 and LL2, then you have to go with PDW which makes the Performance Collection mandatory. If you don't just get the Luxury Collection and that will keep it pretty basic. I've seen two or three at the local dealers in my area without sunroofs in the 37K price range, some with the DI engine and some without, but most already have sunroofs. So you'll probably have to order, which in my view is the better way to go. My reason for not getting a sunroof had nothing to do with the see through shade, I just don't do sunroofs. For "me" it just doesn't make sense to put a hole in the top of your car. And as always, each to his own. thebug...

Replying to: bingoman (Nov 25, 2007 5:25 pm) I really loved the car, the style, the fresh look, the ample power, the smooth ride with FE2 suspension, and the great handling. I’ve waited since January for the 08 CTS, and I was hoping to make a deal that day if it wasn’t for the sunroof shade; if Cadillac offers “Premium Luxury Collection” without the sunroof or with a conventional one I would’ve bought the car right at the seen.

Replying to: vic10 (Nov 11, 2007 7:03 pm) The problem you described about picking up a car and not realizing it's not in your lane does not happen in mine. In fact, when I'm in the left lane going around a curve to the left, I wonder why it doesn't think an oncoming car is not coming right at me?!? If someone pulls in front of me, but is accellerating, it also will not apply the brakes (though it may lift off the gas a little). The only time it slams on the brakes when I wouldn't necessarily do so is when I car cuts me off. I do have to look out - if I see a car driving agressively is zooming along my side and is probably going to cut right in front of me and zoom off, I do need to disengage the system to avoid a hard brake. ANother nice feature is that I input the distance I want between me and the next car. Not in "feet", but in setting 1, 2, and 3. I think this is new b/c I drove a 2003 Lexus with adaptive cruise and I couldn't see how to adjust the distance. In the Sienna, you also have the choice of adaptive cruise and regualr cruise. ANyway, adaptive cruise is getting better - don't give up on it so easily!

I'm interested in reviews about how the manual transmission works - quick/late clutch engagement, a hard, clicking shifter like most sportscars v. the smooth shifting of Honda/Acura products, etc. I'm not in the market (yet), and with 2 little one's in carseats, I won't be taking a test drive for awhile, but I am keeping track of this car. I've been looking, but haven't found anyone describing the manual transmission. Hope yours isn't delayed to Feb, adamg2, but whenever you get yours, and if anyone else out there has the manual, please post about it! |

Replying to: markcincinnati (Nov 14, 2007 7:15 pm) Mark, would you please explain what this statement means? "Suspension travel cycle"??? I'm not agreeing, disagreeing, or anything. I'm just clueless

Replying to: knotem (Nov 26, 2007 8:05 am) Actually would have taken the nav system (for aesthetical reasons only) but it's a must with the sunroof, so I had to compromise a little. I must say that the groups I put together turned out pretty nice. I think the sunroof option may change down the road due to the love/hate relationship that it seems to have garnered. thebug... thebug...

Replying to: adamg2 (Nov 23, 2007 5:46 am)  Cadillac have decided that if you don't order any of the luxury collections, Level I,2 or 3 that you won't get an '08 CTS. I was told that if I wanted one I should search the area dealers inventory and purchase one on the lot. I told her that I wasn't interested in any that were in the $46-49k range. If enough of us that have CTS's on order out contact Cadillac maybe someone will get the hint. If anyone reading this is wants to order one, Good Luck getting it!!!

Get your money back and go find a REAL dealership. Better yet, go over the Cars Direct and let their 2000lb gorilla purchasing department get you exactly what you want. |
