Actually, it has the Cashmere/Cocoa interior.

That's what my husband was just saying about the White Diamond (keeping clean, swirls, etc). It does look *VERY* classy. I showed him your white pics vs the black pics from another thread.

If you get a chance, will you be posting some more shots of the cashmere interior?

Beautiful! Congrats.

Sure, just post your photo requests, and I'll see what I can do. Anything in particular in the interior you want?

Wow, thanks for posting. Amazing looking in your pics. Ironically, I am waiting for the EXACT same car. Color and everything. My MSRP is that same as yours.

I actually had the unique experience of being invited to Lansing and seeing my car being built at the end of July. So I've actually seen my car, but I just havent gotten it yet. It "should" be coming either tomorrow or Tuesday.

Cant wait to get it!

Congrats on getting yours.

I guess what I am trying to understand photo-wise on the interior is I get the Cashmere part but where does the Cocoa come into play? Is the top of the dash considered Cocoa? It looks dark gray to me. I guess I am wondering what that color combo really is.

Maybe "rebate" is a bad word. Edmunds shows this:

The "rebate" is a $500 marketing rebate to the dealer. It is up to each individual dealer to decide if they want to pass it along, or not. I would demand it if you are buying one before 9/4/07.

Wow. That thing is effing beautiful. Cadillac really stepped up here. Never a fan of the CTS, but the '08 is just plain sexy.

That's a good question. I'm not sure why they call it Cashmere/Cocoa. Everything appears to be pretty much the same color - Cashmere. The top of the dash is a very dark gray - almost black.

I'll take some additional interior shots tomorrow that show more of the Cashmere interior.

[PanAnna]

Thanks, I appreciate the photos. How do the seats feel?

Also, do you miss B20 or are you liking it just the way it is with B19 only?

Beautiful ! Congratulations!

Thanks Zymurgy about the $500 rebate. Just talked to my salesman and he said they were passing that $500 rebate on to me also. He knew last week about it but was going to surprise me with it. Still no sign of my car though. Tomorow is my salesman's day off, but he said he'd come in anyway if my car was ready.

Neat little "ride" except the price is outrageous. Your buying price is a good one indeed, HOWEVER the average Joe would pay much, much more. For you were entitled to the X plan so your purchase price is skewed to the max. What's everyone else paying? That's what I'd like to know.
