Now if I could only the edit the typo in the question of the color poll... ("on on order" should read "or on order").

Yeah, the period during which you can edit a post is very limited on this forum. I wish the open period was longer (or better yet, no limit at all).

I have had my Red Crystal w Titanium interior, FE2 w AWD, DI for three weeks now. I am approaching two thousand, petal to the metal, miles on it. Now that it starting to get broken in, the engine is starting to feel even stronger. I just love driving this car, and now that it has won the coveted 2008 Motor Trend's Car Of The Year award. I sit even higher in my seat with an even bigger grin. Can you feel the love?!!!

Results to date (63 votes total):

FE1: 6.3%
FE2: 71.4%
FE3: 22.2%

Does not add to 100% due to rounding.

And it looks like roughly 65% to 35% RWD to AWD.

I can't believe I'm the only one (who chose to answer his poll) with DI and FE1. I would think that more have it because that's what's on most car lots...I think.

i think most people, including myself, hate the way the 17's look on the car
so due to that they need to get either FE2 or FE3

I'm glad to see a few others have gotten the regular engine and AWD. To those folks, do you find the accelaration is adequate with the extra weight? Curious cause I'm getting AWD for sure but haven't been able to compare engines yet on a proper test drive.

The 17s look better on the new CTS than the 16s did on the old one

Hildy--on an enthusiast forum you're going to find most people opting for a sport suspension. FE3s are rare in the general population, but apparently common here.

Auto reliability research -- need more 2008 CTSs!

that's true.. but the 18's look wayyy better
esp since the front end/headlights are different

mkaresh · #29 (**permalink**) 12-18-07, 03:28 PM

Any new members who didn't see this poll the last time around?

I never thought about what the rims looked like when I picked the suspension. I figured my wife would like FE1 and I'd prefer FE3. GM provided a compromise and called it FE2!
