In reading this thread for some information, it would appear that I got a bit lucky with my 2009 CTS. I'm assuming mine was built during the "in between" model year period so I got the best of both worlds.

On my window sticker and breakout (I always make sure the sales guy gives me this), I do have the J55 performance brakes with the AWD platform. All the 2009 bells and whistles like Bluetooth, but also still have the Advanced Menu in the DIC as well.

The tilt down parking mirrors are configurable on both Driver and Passenger sides. Although, I'm a little miffed at how they can be configured. On the 2006 STS, you simply pressed the button corresponding to the side you want to tilt upon shifting into reverse. It seems on the CTS, it's all or nothing. Meaning it will always tilt down in reverse on which side (or both) you have set in the DIC. I have mine set to the passenger side only as a compromise but it still annoys me...

Now I'm curious what other minor things are on 08s and not on 09s to compare...
