It's when you get hot, you put your stick in the hole to get a raise..

yes, but you might need lube and deal with a limp stick

IIRC, the TPMS programmer at the dealer can adjust the range for the TPMS light illuminating on the dash. If you know someone at a GM dealer, they should be able to adjust the ranges on yours.

I hadn't seen that video. Thanks for sharing!

"I would be a hero to my little boys." Yup, that's about how my son feels when I accelerate, um, briskly in the wagon. I only do this when mommy is not around because she is scared spitless when I do that. Beastmode is definitely off when the wife is around.

"I love how that steering wheel feels. It's suede." Well, actually, it's Alcantara, but OK.

I still giggle like a little boy when I put the hammer down in my wagon, just like some of the people in the video.

Does the V wagon have some sort of special back up camera? Or has that guy just never seen one before? LOL

Sounds like it's angled well so you can actually see the edge of the bumper.

Finally watched the video...yeah, I don't want one LESS now.
One day...maybe I'll trade all my toys in for that.

Yes! Those emotions don't fade. My buddies little one loves the V. The first time I took it for a test drive, my buddy and his 3 year old son came along. After installing the car seat (sales guy was like.. ), we got on the tollway. I got a feel for her and did a loop back.

Going back I hammered it merging from the ramp, 5 lanes of completely open tollway. The V roared into life and my buddies son exclaimed "What's that daddy?!" "It's the car mijo" "No! No it's not the car!" He thought we were in a rocket ship. Now every time he sees a silver caddy he's like Joe! Vrooom!!!

The wife is okay with it. We take it out and have some fun on the weekend. Mostly cruising, some stop sign peel outs. Nothing crazy. I told her it's too much fun, she affirmed that it is.

I think a lot of V owners complain about the resolution of the camera. Although it's widely available, even standard on Toyotas now, it's still not commonplace yet.

The resolution on the 2012 SRX is absolute garbage, but it gets the job done.

There are some aftermarket cameras that have better resolution. Some guys have bypassed it and use a display integrated into the rearview mirror.

Looks like that wagon sold. It's a great deal at that price even with the branded title. There are good deals out there. However, like a NSX, you have to leap at the chance immediately or miss the few great deals that show up.

It dropped a few thousand.. and now taking best offer.

Being a 2012.. maybe they'll take 43k, but I think it's time on the market is running out.

I'm not sure if I'm posting these for you, JB, or myself.

2014 Cadillac CTS V in Ft. Myers, FL- 11689645 at carmax.com

This is a great deal for a 2014 wagon at a CarMax in Ft. Myers, FL. It's probably a bit less because it's already seen 24k miles. $55k

I'm tempted to go to the new CarMax in my area to see how much I can get for my unicorn, just for spits and giggles. I'm still not selling.

That one sold yesterday. It was on their lot for a total of three days. It was priced quite well for a 2014 so it got snapped up.

You keep posting these wagons and I keep looking. Then thinking to myself should I trade the IS-F for one? Maybe if found the right white or blue with yellow brembos and recaros.
