I absolutely agree. I have the '05 CTS 3.6l, manual with FE3 suspension, fold-down rears and XM. That was it. I want the performance. If you don't want the "luxury items" (which obviously I don't) you don't have to buy 'em.

I was relieved to see that the 6-speed is still an option. Also, I disagree regarding the pricing effect on used vehicles. Off the lot, they will have to discount, but I would hope that the resale of the older units may hold up with the higher list prices.

If not, an older version CTS-V will get into my price range for a weekender car.
