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.

Size 13 and I find the space a little tight. AWD, DI with automatic.

Thanks for your info.
 
As it turns out, I just got an email from my dealer that my car has been built and shipped! No delivery date yet but maybe this coming week or the week after at the latest. I get my wish to get it before Christmas. The timing is also opportune because the Maryland state tax is increasing 20% from 5% to 6% effectice Jan 1. I did not vote for the democrat Governor O'Malley who pushed this tax hike through.
 
Through a neat trick I learned about, I went to cadillac.com and was able to enter my VIN number and look at and printout my actual vehicle's window sticker. Very cool.

Please detail the process that allows one to view the window sticker on the cadillac website. Thanks

Strongly considering new CTS-questions by neuronbob

Currently considering the 08 CTS, my first American car in years. I have to admit that I am blinded by the MT and C&D COTY and 10 Best awards. The car is droolworthy and has all the options I need except for Bluetooth. I have a couple of questions:
 
a) what are you all doing for hands-free telephony? The car doesn't come with Bluetooth, a rather obvious oversight.
b) are most of you who've purchased buying at MSRP, or are there deals to be had?
