I understand they will be available for ordering sometime in May/June and in dealerships in August/September (but I'm no expert--it's just what I was told by a dealership).

Re: 2009 CTS Official Changes

What would be interesting is if the components for the WXF option for the Bluetooth wiring provisions could be purchased from the dealer and retrofitted to 2008 models. I believe it uses the same microphone that OnStar does.

Deleting Blue Chip?! We receive comments all the time about how beautiful ours is. Maybe the color and the FE3 will make it more of a collector's item someday.

Blue Chip is very classy and very easy to look at, but Blue Diamond is incredible. Check ur dealer, they may have a Blue Diamond DTS and you can really gain an appreciation for it!

I'm confused. If I go to Cadillac.com and "build my own" DTS there is no option for "Blue Diamond".

Does anyone know if blue diamond will be the same as "stealth grey" on the Escalade - because that looks really blue.

Very simply, Cadillac.com SUCKS!. They never update. My dealer has a Blue Diamond DTS on the lot!

No, blue diamond will not be the same as stealth gray.

Re: 2009 CTS Official Changes

Will "Black Ice" be on any other GM models in showrooms soon?

It is on the 2008 Saturn Aura, it is called Carbon Flash . I think it looks too dark and since the metallic flake is scattered lightly more towards the surface, it looks like thre is overspray or pollen on the surface, i keep wanting to wipe it off, haha.

Re: 2009 CTS Official Changes

Does anyone know if the 09 model will offer the Direct Injection engine with Manual transmission on an FE2 suspension? I believe the 08 DI manual is only available on an FE3 suspension with Summer tires. I want a manual, the DI, but not Summer tires (I live in the Northeast) and I think the FE3 suspension will be too hard.

Re: 2009 CTS Official Changes

I still see the same limitation for 2009 - DI RWD model allows Manual only with FE3. Bummer.

Re: 2009 CTS Official Changes

It states the Nav screen will be 10" on 2009.

What size is the 2008 screen?

Is the Nav system changing or just a larger screen? How will get larger screen without change in dash system?

Where did you get your information?? Straight from Dealerworld:

Audio system with navigation, AM/FM stereo with CD/DVD player, MP3 playback, Bose 5.1 Cabin Surround Sound 10-speaker system and HDD-based navigation with XM NavTraffic/Real Time Weather, 8" pop-up screen, Radio Data System (RDS), 40GB Hard Drive Device (HDD), USB with audio connectivity and steering wheel controls
1 - Included in (PDQ) CTS Premium Collection. Requires (PDP) CTS Luxury Collection or (PDR) CTS Performance Collection. Not available with (PDW) Performance Luxury Package or (U2S) AM/FM stereo with CD/DVD player, MP3 playback and Bose 5.1 Cabin Surround Sound 10-speaker system.


Very clearly states 8" screen. I do believe a 10" screen would require a dashboard redesign.
