Well i got woken up today from a phone call from Cadillac, tell me that i have been invited to a vip event to test drive the new 2008 Cadillac CTS
i think im going to have to take them up on this offer and go, plus i get a free dinner out of it too
sounds like fun, I've driven a few Caddys at my new job, but they feel cheep... so I wonder how this one will measure up.
The one looks pretty sharp (litterally!). Apparantly the interior is miles ahead of the previous gen.
I got a chance to drive a 2005 with the corvette enginge and the 6 speed trans, very fast and handled very well. Too much money for what you get but still a nice car. Have fun with the new one.
where do u guys sign up for these events?
Yeah, my cousin's buddy has a CTS-V. It's definitely a premium over the C5 it's built on for the luxury of 4 doors.
Enjoy flogging the 2008!
Nice, hope you have fun :)

It was advertised in the Ottawa Citizen, in their car section. Read the paper, and they ususally advertise those kind of things....I'm guessing they would advertise this on their websites also.
i drove the DTS as a rental week ago and i tell you , it had better gas millage then the focus.
doing 120km/h on a flat 401 section, gas millage was 5.0L per 100Km's i was shocked.
Does the DTS motor have any sort of cylinder deactivation technology on it? :huh:

Maybe it was lying to you, bud. I had a 2007 Allure yesterday that was convinced it had 675KMs left after using over a 1/4 tank (23L to be exact) to travel 230KMs. :lol:

must have something like that, that was just me crusing at 120 steady speeds, it also had over all gas millage with was 12.0L per 100Km. i think that is still amazing mileage for a rental V8. i know lot of ppl would screw around with that car for sure.
