I just bought one.....and I agree with the performance blog. I also own a 275 HP 2007 CTS and that car is definitly faster off the line than this 2008 awd DI car.
 
The 2008 is quieter than the 2007, more solid, and I think heavyer. I dont feel a performance issue once I'm off the line and moving...she responds to throttle and I'm OK with it. BUT I agree......she is not faster off the line or even as fast as my 2007.

What is the engine/transmission combination in your 2007 cts?

I believe that the top 2007 CTS HP powertrain was a 255 HP 3.6 V6.

You are hardly comparing apples to apples. Your 2008 is about 600 pounds heavier than your 2007.

Perhaps you are correct......255 HP not 275???
 
I'll throw this out there too and I'll stop knocking my new baby. On the AWD cars, the brake pedal is too close to the gas pedal which causes some drivers to clip the edge of the brake pad while your applying gas. Doesnt happen on 2007's, or 2008 NON AWD cars but somthing with the AWD models and the tunnel that enchroach's into the cabin has caused the brake pedal to be too close to the gas pedal. Scary feeling when your applying gas to be hitting the brake at the same time.
Size 10 regular foot in case your wondering.
I've also tried for 900 miles to re-train my foot to no avail. Anyone else with AWD's feel this issue?

Is that foot pedal problem with a manual or auto transmission?

AWD ONLY comes with one transmission type -- so, I guess it must be that one.

Just finished another 270 mile joy ride through the back roads in the mountains, WHAT A TURN ON! Because the traffic was just so, I was able to play in the twisty turnys for twenty to thirty minutes at a time at triple digit speeds. It was one WOW after another. The handling is superb. Can't wait for my long road trip this coming spring.

Car supposedly built - no information? by ctbarker3232

I'm getting a bit antsy. My car that I ordered on October 26th was scheduled to be built the week of December 3rd which has now passed.
 
I got the information from my dealer a couple of weeks ago. I hadn't heard anything so I called the 1800 Cadillac number that supposedly can tell you things. After a long routine of verifying who I was all they could determine was it was to be built the week of 12/3.
 
Based on other discussions I have seen, I would have thought I would know my VIN by now and possible delivery dates.
 
I think I'm in the home stretch but information is thin on the ground.

CB, I signed my lease on the exact same date (Oct 26th) and was given the same locked-in build date (Dec 3). I've been told that it will be arriving to Toronto on either Dec 11th or 12th. I was able to gain information more easily from my local dealer rather than the 1800 number. You should be provided with a vehicle number (not a VIN number) which is one letter followed by 5 digits in order to access information on your order. I would imagine that you should have your car by next week as well.
