I test drove a 2009 CTS with the D/I, and my car (a 2007 STS with the V8) did seem quicker, and did sound much better WOT. I wish I had some numbers, or a video to post, but alas, I do not.
Direct injection V6 any day--that's why the N* is cancelledJust wondering which one is faster? I have a 05 sts v8 and I think its really quick for the sedan, however I recently drove a 09 CTS v6 with the direct inject system and it really surprised me. I would love to see a video of a sts vs a new cts but cant find it. Just wondering if anyone knew which one was quicker, and/or faster.
Thanks
Driving a N* is nice, but if you have withdrawal, you can always rent a DTS or Lucerne once in a whileI am sure that the DI V6 CTS is quicker based on pretty comparable HP and less car to move. Plus, WAY better MPG. But then you don't get to drive a N*!
With my 08 AWD I have recorded over the last two weeks 22.4mpg, average speed 53.3 mph; that includes a run I did to Cleveland where I averaged 81.7mph, other than that it's a 50/50 blend of city expressway and city streets.What kind of mpg does the DI v6 get?

The DI 6 rocks in my book, as the car feels more nimble than a N* model, and the mpg is stellar in my opinion.
So true. It's reputed to be an expensive engine but it is completely figured-out. What's that worth?There is nothing like the sound and Torque of the N*. A DTS or Lucrene can hardly compare to a 1SG STS for performance. Too bad they did not DI the N*
