I fall in the segment that Cadillac seems to be going after...I'm 31 and looking for a nice sedan. I am comparing the CTSv to the 04 BMW 545, 04 M3 and new M5 (hopefully announced in 4 months).

I believe that Cadillac is making a big mistake right now. Why in the world is the CTSv only available in two colors? Why is there no navigation system option? This seems so simple! Give me 8 color choices and navigation!

I can't be alone in my feelings about this!
I love CTS and especially CTS-V, but I do agree with you on the color limitations... I understand it is going to be lower volume, but the materials are already in place to paint the car in the standard colors... so why not offer the whole pallet to your premium customers??

GM does this often though... Z06 is another example... only 5 of the Corvette's colors are available of Z06...

So far it's been a wonderful formula for a turnaround...Time to apply it to the other GM brands and watch them sell...

I know i'm a little late on this, but i also play the lotto once per week...years ago, one of my college professors called it a "tax for people who don't know basic statistics." Still, i have a feeling i'm due soon.

If costs were an issue GM could raise the price a couple grand and still be in-line. Or, black and silver are one price with other colors a premium price...I would be fine with that!
