Up to 15. A round of emails with links to the survey will go out later today, so hopefully a few more cars will be added.

Thanks,I"ll check it out

Well, what did you think?

23 owners are now signed up. Not bad considering the car is so new and doesn't sell in big numbers, but more will be needed for a result in February.

So if you haven't yet, please sign up to participate. I've designed the surveys to take very little time.

Happy new year, everyone.

33 now signed up. Data collection for the last month before the February results will start tomorrow or Thursday, I haven't decided yet. Really need more participants if there's going to be a result for the 2008 CTS.

The 50th owner of a 2008 recently joined. Should be good enough for a solid result in May, but this will depend on how many of the 50 respond to the survey--which takes very little time.

Additional participants would help us provide more precise and more detailed results.

So far 43 owners have responded to the survey--an outstanding response rate. Higher would be better still, but great job so far, everyone.

There will be additional rounds this month because it's the last month in the quarter, so there's still time to sign up and participate before the May results.

In all it looks like we'll have 51 responses when the results are released this week. The CTS is among the biggest news in this set. Everyone who has made this, possible, thanks.

The next update after this one will be in August. Additional participants always helpful. Especially if you bought your CTS recently--let's find out if more recently produced cars have a lower repair rate.

Can't get a much higher repair rate than mine. Delivered on Dec 5, 2007, so far 22 days in the shop and still some unresolved issues.
