#2261 of 2757 Re: Screwed by GM [caddygrl] by sls002 Apr 14, 2008 (7:44 am)
Replying to: caddygrl (Apr 12, 2008 2:33 pm) This reminds me of my 1991 Buick Reatta. My Buick dealer had ordered one for their inventory. However the 1991 models were not put into production until they had as many orders as they could get. Buick was advertising a rebate on non-existant Reatta's though. I agreed to take the Reatta that was ordered if I could be sure of getting the rebate. My dealer got Buick to agree that the rebate should be mine since there was no way to get a Reatta until they were finally put into production.

The first iteration of the 2009 GM order guide has just been published at;       http://eogld.ecomm.gm.com/dmdindex.htm   It is not complete.

Replying to: lms2 (Apr 07, 2008 4:34 pm) I hope you (and everyone else) complained long and hard to your salesman about the mess GM has made with their option packages. The dealers probably hate it, too, but somehow GM HQ has to get the message. You pay that much for a car, you should be able to get it the way you want it, not what's convenient for them. Some of us stayed with American cars in their lean years for that flexibility.   I sat in a G35 at a car show in February. Rear seat room was terrible--even worse than the 328 as I recall, though I didn't get my foot stuck in the footwell as with that car. The sunroof will steal some headroom front & rear, which was my problem with the CTS back seat. Legroom was ok, the smaller (compared to 07), curved seatback helped actual and visual kneeroom, don't remember noticing that it was too close to the floor.

#2264 of 2757 Exert from 09 CTS Ordering Guide: by genuisity Apr 15, 2008 (9:04 am)
No deletions allowed to Equipment Groups.   Equipment Groups: PDQ CTS Premium Collection, includes: (Y40) Luxury Level One Package, (Y41) Luxury Level Two Package, (Y42) 18" (45.7 cm) All-Season Tire Performance Package, (Y44) Seating Package, (UAV) audio system with navigation, (C3U) Ultra View sunroof, (B19) Wood Trim Package, (B20) Wood Trim Package and (P63) 18" x 8" (45.7 cm x20.3 cm) aluminum wheels with high-polished finish   This is what I want with the exception of the cheesecloth sunroof cover. But GM message is, IF YOU DON’T LIKE TO BAKE YOUR HEAD in sunny California, Nevada, Florida….etc, GO TAKE A HIKE.   I was hoping that in 2009 CTS GM will either add a traditional Sunroof, or allow their best paying customers to buy a car without the undesirable sunroof design. It’s very bad decision from GM.   GM! You lost it, and you’re about to lose me too, along with the high percentage of your big spending customers who accept nothing but every option you offer, and they also wish to have their head fully covered from the sun when they don’t need it..

Replying to: caddygrl (Apr 12, 2008 2:38 pm) Can you explain the difference between the bluetooth capability that you indicate will be available in post-April models and the hands-free capability that is currently offered? An acquaintance previously explained to me that while CTS's didn't offer bluetooth, they could be synced with an owner's current cell-phone service to accomodate hands-free communication. Is that true and, if so, how is bluetooth fundamentally different?   Thanks in advance. Replies to this message: ewl88 (Apr 23, 2008 2:51 am) rspruitt (Apr 23, 2008 8:53 am)

Replying to: ral1960 (Apr 14, 2008 8:29 pm) If I thought it would do any good, I'd complain, but I think GM has been doing things that way for about a million years. Someone must think it's useful.   I ended up ordering the CTS today. The legroom tightness in the back of the g35x was a deciding factor, although it seems like it had more headroom back there than the CTS (even without the sunroof in the CTS).   LMS

Replying to: genuisity (Apr 15, 2008 9:04 am) It is not only GM that has the "take it or lump it" attitude. In September of 05, I special ordered a Mercedes without the sunroof (Sunroof was a $1700 option). Five months later it was still not on their production schedule, so I cancelled.   I challenge you (anyone) to try to buy an Acura, Audi, BMW, Infiniti, Lexus, Mercedes or other non-american luxury car without a sunroof.   The CTS I ordered (without sunroof) on 2/29/08 has not been built yet, but I am clinging to the hope that GM will build it.

I was somewhat encouraged when I read this - posted regarding the 2009 STS, not CTS, but still:   "Changes      Repackaging created (implemented 4th quarter of 2008 model year) "   I have not seen an explanation of exactly what that means - but perhaps GM \ Caddy has heard some of us complain... - Ray Did not buy a V8 STS largely due to option packages & individual option availability issues...
#2269 of 2757 NAV aftermarket software by cptsully Apr 21, 2008 (12:32 pm)
Hello All-   One of the things I DON'T like about my CTS Nav system is the fact that while you're driving, and hit "nearby POI's", it gives you a very limited number, and you can't scroll down too far. However, once you stop, it offers POI's out the wazoo.   I remember reading a post that had a link to aftermarket software you can install that would allow you to manipulate nav system and info while the car is moving. If I recall, it also lets you watch DVD's while driving, (though I have no intention of doing that.) Does anybody have that link? Anybody try that software? Do you think installing it voids any warranties as well?   Thanks!
#2270 of 2757 2009 CTS by bingoman Apr 21, 2008 (6:57 pm)
I just spoke with my saleslady this afternoon and was told that dealers had only two more days to order 2008 CTS's. After that they will be ordering 2009 cars. Blue tooth will be available and there are some color changes, but nothing else appears to be changed.   I had hoped for the addition of a rear view camera to be available with navigation, and possibly a change to the sun roof screen, also the possibility of power folding mirrors and automatic cruise control, but it appears that they are not to be for this year.
