jdavis - Maybe you have already checked the Speed Compensation Volume (SCV) or the Noise Compensation Technology settings, but if you haven't it may be a place to check to see if it is set to a low position. See page 3-82 in the owners manual. It also provides a Bose website for more information. My system works very well, we made all the necessary adjustments before I left the dealer, and adjusting these settings was included. Just a thought.

bding - Congrats on your purchase. You're gonna love it. This is an awesome car. It is everything that I expected/wanted it to be and then some. I'm up to 2100 miles (mostly playing around in the mountain twisty turnies), what a fun car to drive. It holds very well on mountain climbs (sometimes at triple digit speeds) with relative ease, and feels as though it's on rails on downhill curves.
Went to Cadillac West today just to look to see if the wood is being optioned, and it is. I missed out because I couldn't wait, but it's all good. These cars are flying of the lot. All that were available on the lot had sold signs on them, and none to be had on the showroom floor.

rspruitt - I use 89oct all the time and I have no problems with ticking. I did the same with my 03 CTS. Not really a big price difference, (usually about 7 cents) and it my be worth the extra cost to prevent the noise. That being said, I've been blessed in that regard, my gas is more than paid for by my organization. We currently get $9.60/20miles, (drive about 2K/month) with gas at $3.16/gal, average, (I purchase on the Air Force Base most of the time) I get to pocket the rest.

I don't have a CTS, but your comment about the rear speakers not having much power reminded me of an experience in a newer Acura TL and a Toyota Sienna.
These cars offer surround sound (I think the TL calls it ProLogic), and just like in a theater, surround speakers are softer - used to create an echo effect.
Perhaps you should check if your radio is set for surround sound, Dolby ProLogic, or soemthing similar and turn it off.
Hope this is helpful!

After about 7 weeks or so, my custom ordered RWD CTS has arrived at the dealer. I intend to pick it up tomorrow.
I will now join the growing crowd of 2008 owners now on the road. I can't wait.

Have the new GM price increases affected the CTS? If so what prices have been affected, and by how much?

Anyone that's waiting for the constraints on P63. It's worth the wait! 18" wheels and 50 series Michelin's make the car, especially from the rear. Even the stock Bose are great. Got my 1st OnStar diagnostic report yesterday. Told me that two of my tires only had 31 lbs. rather then the recommended 35 lbs. Also told me that I had 337 miles on the car. Don't know if I like "Big Brother" looking over me that much. Anyone else notice the oil filter (PF 2129) for the DI, its a pleated element that must slide into some type of canister. I think a neighbor had that same filter on a "Iron Duke" four- banger back in the 80's.

I think I had one of those on my 1966 Chevy Bel-Air 283.

I received same tire pressure message. Tires were at correct psi. Dealer adjusted tire sensor.

Black Interior???

I'm getting ready to buy a Thunder Gray DI with black interior. I think I would prefer a titanium interior better in the Thunder Gray but the car I am negotiating on the lot only has the black. Has anybody seen an downsides in the black interior in terms of showing dirt, scuff marks, etc? Anybody else bothered by the fact that the roof and pillars are titanium but the rest is black?
