| The only Cadillac models for 2008 that have the opener standard on base models is the XLR and the Escalade. When I decided to get a new SRX in 2007 I knew that by asking them to search for three basic options (Premium Lux, utility and 20 inch sport package) I would get everything I really wanted (like the door opener). I wanted it on the V8 model (which gets you the door opener). | |

Replying to: 150mphclub (Jun 30, 2008 4:32 pm) Either one of these collections would have made the cost of the car prohibitive and gotten me other options that I did not need. Like the sunroof for instance. Here in Southern Oklahoma, all the sunroof and it's transparent cover would do is heat up the car and the top of your head. My point, and it is only my opinion, is that a luxury car like the CTS should have the garage opener in the base luxury package. My 05 did, my 08 is a lot more heavily optioned and it doesn't. No, I don't live in a big city like NY or Chicago. Thank God.

Replying to: rcantwell (Jul 01, 2008 10:47 am) As to the sunroof; I spent a week visiting my grandkids in Las Vegas in 110 degree weather. The car was always in the sun. I found that the sunroof, with the semi-transparent curtain, never admitted enough heat to make the car feel uncomfortable, (which I have to admit surprised me). I think the White Diamond paint helped considerably.

Replying to: bingoman (Jul 01, 2008 11:59 am) I think that Cadillac is playing games with the CTS. When the STS and DTS merge on a new platform, I think that the CTS will replace the STS and perhaps the options will settle into something more sensible. The CTS price tag will probably be higher though.

Just got my Hemmings Muscle Machines today and in it they say that a stock 09 V with stock tires ran the Nuremburg course in 7:59minutes. This is the first production car to run the course in less than 8 minutes. Up till now only race and heavily modified cars have been able to do it in under 8 minute. They were speculating that the Caddy is putting out somewhere around 550 horsepower. While that is to much car for me on a daily basis , it would be nice to be able to rent one like the old Hertz Shelbys and get the feel of it just once.

Sunroofs - love 'em or hate 'em, it is of course a personal decision. Just to throw my 2 cents in, I am usually indifferent about sunroofs. When my cars have them, I use them only occasionally. I admit I was really intrigued by the very large glass area on the '08 CTS even if the whole roof does not open. What was a deal breaker for me was the mesh, flimsy feeling (IMO) cover. I just don't like lots of light in the car sometimes as I am personally distracted by it (again, my own reality). I do not understand why there cannot be an opaque cover of some sort. I figured by ordering my '09 CTS without the sunroof I was saving some $ and gaining some rear seat headroom. Eases the pain somewhat! |
