Well, I hate to break it to you, but there are issues with some drivetrains.

No, really? Do you ever supply proof for anything or do you just post when you have an epiphany, such as this. "break it to me", puhleasse.

Like your "epiphany" was useful. You came up with poor balancing and absolutely no chance of a drivetrain issue, WOW, pure brilliance. When in fact there was a drivetrain issue, hence the TSB that was released a couple months ago.

Since you don't own one and you have no idea what people, like me, are going through to get our issues,like this one, resolved, keep your lame comments like this one to yourself. You're only showing your ignorance and it's counterproductive to sites like this.

Mine was built 10/3, FE2, DI, and no vibration or noise in the car or from the outside.

This thread is starting to vibrate!

I see a few post saying cars that are built after October are resolved of this "vibrating" issue. If that is true .... why not find out HOW they fixed it and what was causing it?

It would be great to have access to that, but I doubt GM is going to say anything like this. As I understand it, my car's issue is the rear diff. The tires were road force tested long ago and that wasn't the issue, and the driveshaft wasn't the issue either.

Well then my final conclusion of GM is GAY

Good to know you have no vibration. I have the same features as you do and mine was built today. Maybe they have resolved the issue. BTW do you have 18" wheels?
I also like the fact that you received it in about a week.

GM almost certainly checks all press cars very thoroughly before sending them to the mags. They'd be fools not to. This doesn't defeat the purpose of the review as long as all that results is representative of any perfect car coming out of the plant (i.e. no horsepower boost, change in the alignment specs, etc.).

I remember when the 1992 Seville was introduced, that's the last time people were talking about Cadillac being back in the big leagues. The car put on C&D's cover had poorly aligned bodyside moldings, and many people pointed this out.

Ed's response: someone at GM in charge of the press vehicles probably just lost their job.

Yes, I have the FE2 package which is the 18" wheels w/all season. Mine was built on the 3rd and at the dealer on the 13th.

griveira..
off topic, but when did you order your car?

By the way, I didn't take a hit of 10k. I worked something out with the dealership because they knew they were in the wrong. Listen, I wish the car didn't have a vibration issue. It's not the tires. There is definitely an issue either with the drivetrain or even rear differential or something else. I had the wheels and tires checked out thoroughly. I'm just really surprised that GM doesn't check their cars out properly before they are sent out to dealerships. For the guy who claims that he doesn't care that the car vibrates and loves it. Are you crazy? Why would I want to spend that kind of money on a car that has a vibration issue? I drive the freeways mostly and the vibration was driving me nuts. There is no excuse for this. I feel bad for IMF.

Don't. The dealership has my replacement car sitting on the lot, waiting for the paperwork between the dealership and GM to be finalized for the swap. I test drove the new one before starting the paperwork and put 50 miles on it, and it seemed to be fine, with the exception that this one has the wood wheel and shifter that I dislike. The only downside to the whole ordeal, is that in no way was anything offered to me for my inconvenience for this problematic car and how long it's taking to get it rectified.
