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 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.

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: ral1960 (Apr 14, 2008 8:29 pm) 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) 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... |

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! |

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.

Replying to: bingoman (Apr 21, 2008 6:57 pm) I had to drive about 35 miles away from where I live to see different Cadillac Dealer. The salesman was very helpful and told me that he thinks he might locate a CTS built with PDQ (luxury collection) without the sunroof, but I doubt it. He also said that I wasn’t the first one to complaint from the sunroof screen and the Cadillac representative is aware of the problem; adding “knowing Cadillac, from past experience, they don’t react as fast as they should”. He also assured me that Blue Tooth will be no problem in future CTS. I have sunroof in my Lexus along with every car I’ve owned/leased for the last 15 years; never had problem with sunroof and never complaint from it; matter of fact I love it. I just don’t understand what Cadillac had in mind when they designed a controversial sunroof that can not properly cover it. In September 2007, I went with my dad to buy his new 08 CTS, and that was suppose to be his fifth or sixth Cadillac, he ends up buying a Mercedes E350 just because of the translucent sunshade; it’s simply not acceptable.
