What to do???
I have been thinking seriously about replacing my 06 with the 08 caddi CTS.
I enjoy my car, but have been annoyed by torque steer and other disadvantages of FWD. New CTS= 304-horse, 273-lb-tq 3.6-liter V-6 with direct injection, and more importantly rwd! A ton of other cool things like a 40gb hdd too...









What do you guys think? ha well of course your going to say keep the TL but why??

Personally, I would keep the TL. It's looks as if you've made a lot of modifications to it, and I'm sure it will serve you well for a few years yet. That being said, The 08' CTS would definitely be on my short list if I was looking for a moderately priced sedan. The reviews have all been favourable and it's one of the few new cars that I actually like from GM.

Cts Ftw

 

Perception hasn't caught up with reality yet.

I would take a moment to think about how long you plan to keep the CTS. If it's 3 years or less, then don't do it. You'll lose your ass. If you plan to pay it off in 5 years then it's not a bad decision.

That TL is nice but the Caddy could very well be in a whole different league. It's definitely MUCH bigger. As I've mentioned elsewhere I followed one for a few minutes the other day and the car is beautiful in every proportion.

 

i've owned nothing but honda/acura and my father has been selling honda/acura for years now - so it's easy to see why i'm biased toward the make. however, i'm currently a sales consultant at arnold palmer cadillac, and after driving the cts around all the time ... I'M IMPRESSED. tl or cts, i don't know anymore

 

Thats where I am right now. That car looks and drives awesome!! If anyone else can offer some insight please do.
The funny thing is, I planned to keep my TL untill paid off, and untill i could afford an M5 But idk Im a car fanatic and this CTS looks awesome

 

some quick figuring here, with a 7k down payment, 12k mile a year, you could lease a base CTS 6spd manual for 36 months 181.02 a month. At three years youd pay $13516.72. Having this in my drive way for three years for $13.5k is very tempting, i just love this car!

 

Never plunk a down payment on a lease. Convert it to a $0 down lease, and the numbers are $415.40 for 36 months. I would say, not a bargain for a base CTS.

 

i know that doesnt help you at all but yeah, i love this car

 

but its so beautiful! haha. I know its a terrible idea but man, this car is

 

well i was thinking of trading the TL....I much less than its worth, so my down payment would come from that. I wouldn't want the base either, I'm looking for an upgrade ie: the direct injection motor!

 

the new CTS is definitely bad ass looking

now how about the CTS-V

 

Cts!

 

Well, you already know what I think. I'm thinking about putting money down already on the '09 CTS-V...unless the power falls short of 525hp. Then I'm all over the C63AMG.

You do have a very nice TL tough. So, either way, I think you win.

 

The new CTS is pimp and looks great inside and out. Test drive it and then decide?

 

The new CTS looks amazing. The country club I work at had one roll in as it's "Hole-in One" Car for a Charity event! It looked astonishing in red. Too bad no one got a hole in one!

 

personally, i'd keep the tl until the 2009 cts comes out. that gives gm enough time to fix/alter any issues that may pop up with this new caddy

 

anyone watch burn notice, i believe the guy on there is driving a new CTS!!!

it looked really good!

 

yeah but i havent seen the caddy, good show...
