I want one too! How does it do in the snow w/ the snow tires? I would imagine if you take it easy you don't have any problems.
I'm torn between a first gen cts-v and the current generation in awd. it just pisses me off that it doesn't come in stick.

Nice pics. I'd probably wait until it is warmer out before having the windows tinted.

Pisses me off to, although I may give in and get the coupe.


As long as you get a true snow tire, you should have zero problems. I made it through 2 Adirondak Winters without getting stuck...

Looks cleaner I'm sure it shows dirt being it is black.I am suprised the doors to close off the pay wash bay.Is it heated.I wondered if those were available.Here in nc they are all open bay.I do not use them since I have a big garage and wash outside and roll in and have two kerosene heaters to keep it like stupid warm above 80 or more.Yeah the steels look funny on it.But understand the reason for them.

honestly its OK in the winter, its 50X better now with the winter tires it has a winter mode but i find the traction control kicks in too much with it on so i never use it. as long as you dont give it around corners and stuff it does just fine. and im not sure what you mean but you CAN get CTS' in manual i was going to get one but they're hard to find unless your looking for a V...

Ron Love-it shows everything just like my cavy but black is my fav color for cars. and ya the doors close and it is heated i spent about an hour and a half inside to make sure it was all dry since it was -16 without the windchill last night...

everybody else thanks guys! if you guys wanna get me a set of summer rims and tires i'll gladly mount the winters on my stock rims, but the steelies dont bother me...
