Well, I'm finally glad to see GM come out with car that can "compete" with the A4, 3-series, and C Class. I grew up in the Detroit area and drove GM cars my whole life until I moved to Los Angeles. I've had an Audi and a couple BMWs since I've been out here. I agree with those guys talking about LA people not getting on board with American cars....It's "cooler" to have an expensive German car...haha. My point is, I finally can get a GM car that I like and use these damn GM card earnings (I've always like the trucks, best hands down). Does anyone know of a good website for aftermarket parts/kits for the CTS? Any chips that boost the HP? I've heard of some electrical problems. Anyone else? Sorry if these questions have been answered before, but I don't have time to read 2374 posts. BTW, my wife has an 08 C300 completely loaded. It's a great car, but I'm still getting the CTS. Thanks. |

Replying to: tbennett70 (Jul 26, 2008 8:59 am) The CTS has been very popular in its new incarnation, but less popular in California where German luxury cars tend to dominate. One thing to note with the CTS is that although it is frequently compared against the C-class, A4 and 3 Series, it's really exactly the size of a BMW 5 series automobile (all important dimensions are literally within .5 inches of each other). It is expected that Cadillac will eventually introduce a smaller vehicle for the world market (the Saab-derived BLS is sold only in Europe). And although the CTS lacks a few features of the 5 series/E-class...most notably an optional V8 engine, the upcoming CTS-V with 556 HP is designed to go hunting against M5s and E63 AMGs. Regarding your questions, I don't know of any chippers for this car but I suspect the CTS-V will get someone to tackle that since the engine is a cousin of a hot breathing Corvette engine (the previous CTS-V had chips available for that car). I'm not familiar with any widespread electrical issues with this car in monitoring this board over the last year. The most traffic was generated by a member who had a bum engine which GM eventually fixed properly. As far as aftermarket parts go, GM has a site you can start with (gmaccessorieszone.com) but I suspect that Google will be your friend on this one. Good luck with your purchase. Let us know how it turns out.
