I love the CTS! Got the DI engine (basically the 6 cyl camaro) and it will be my best daily driver. I wasnt a bit sad to see my Camry hybrid go. They gave me a little above book for it as well. It was a positive experience all around.

The one thing I'm still getting used to is the suspension. The rear shocks POUND down when you hit a speedbump (and my neighborhood has 16 of them.) On the road, especially on the freeway, it is whisper quiet and full of power.

I am waiting for the dealer to call me (eventually someday) to tell me I have moved above 1100. Then, again, I will need to decide; trade in the CTS and get the Camaro, or whore all my other toys on fleabay to get the car? I still want the Camaro, but when I ordered the Camaro I wanted this car too. Many people don't like the CTS for various reasons. I personally LOVE the car.

To be continued....

CTS is a great car. Makes Camaro's interior look like it has been designed by a 10 year old. Honestly, I love the CTS's interior and I understand that Camaro's interior is supposed to be more like the old but retro style, but still Chevy needs more work in the interior. Look at the CTS, plain luxury. Anyhow, I'd still get the Camaro though. Let's just call it a "camaro obsession".

When someone said "spending fever" it rang a bell for me. The wait makes you want to JUST BUY SOMETHING

But GM built mine and now the fever is back down for now. The CTS is sharp and it would be on the short list of alternates if I could not wait any longer. Congrats on the new purchase.

BTW - I bet you a dollar you will be buying a Camaro soon as well. How are you going to say "No Thanks" when it comes in?

Very nice. Congrats, and thanks for buying GM!

By the way...Conquest sales FTW.

The CTS was my second shot car if i didn't get the Camaro... i love that thing, pop up nav, ABLighting... sweetly designed interior, heated and cooled seats. The engine is a little small, but one can always fix that!
