Replying to: 62vetteefp (Jul 09, 2008 4:02 am) I read some of the responses and owner are not happy with the options packages. In the CTS forum some owners are not happy with the options packages either. I think if one considers a well equipped CTS as a low priced 5-series alternative, then you get a lot of car for the money. As an entry level sports sedan, the CTS is perhaps too big to start with, and a bit too expensive to be a low priced entry in the sports sedan market. The CTS is a "Cadillac" sports sedan.

The great thing about the Q is that it would be unlikely that you would encounter another one if you owned one, especially the last models. Funny that the Q never caught on when the Lexus LS did. I guess it was those stupid rocks and trees ads that hamstrung Infiniti out of the gate. As for today's Infinitis? They're just weird. I'd be more likely to buy an Audi than an Infiniti.

Replying to: sls002 (Jul 09, 2008 6:14 am) Seeing how psychotic gas prices have become, I'd have probably been better off getting a CTS versus the DTS. However, by the time I got a CTS up to the level of my DTS, I'd have spent $47K easily. Love that Passion Red, however! The CTS would make a nice car for my girlfriend if she ever wants to trade her LaCrosse.

Probably all she needs and would love it.

Replying to: lemko (Jul 09, 2008 6:19 am) I don't think that the difference in fuel consumption is enough to make much difference, the CTS may get about 2 MPG more. A hybrid of some sort would make a difference.

Replying to: 62vetteefp (Jul 09, 2008 6:39 am) The next Lacrosse should offer plug in hybrid tecnology to make it worth considering. Replies to this message: 62vetteefp (Jul 09, 2008 8:02 am) sls002 (Jul 09, 2008 8:28 am) circlew (Jul 10, 2008 3:09 am) 62vetteefp (Jul 10, 2008 6:17 am)

Replying to: sls002 (Jul 09, 2008 6:49 am) The next Lacrosse should offer plug in hybrid tecnology to make it worth considering. That would be great! It would make it the first production vehicle in the world to offer it. Doubt that will happen. Plug ins are a few years away yet. I think Volt may be the first.

Replying to: 62vetteefp (Jul 09, 2008 8:02 am) the volt will be first around 2010. I think that plug in hybrids probably should all be designed as plug in hybrids and not add the technology to existing platforms. A lot depends on how successful GM is with the development of the batteries and cost.

The usual debate on value. Is it just me or CTS prices is getting wayy up? Especially since most people would never consider the CTS as a value 5series, more like an alternative to the 3series. Replies to this message: circlew (Jul 10, 2008 3:12 am) lemko (Jul 10, 2008 4:29 am)

Replying to: 62vetteefp (Jul 09, 2008 8:02 am) Toyota should beat the Volt...GM is running out of cash real fast. Should push quality even lower at GM, IMO. link title Regards, OW Replies to this message: 62vetteefp (Jul 10, 2008 6:17 am)
