Nice, I love those new CTS with the DI motor. Congrats! Do your door locks rattle while driving? The cylinders that go up & down at the top of the door panel.

I currently do not wish to own a RWD vehicle, due to the fact we get a lot of snow in Michigan.

I have one friend with a GTO who tried to drive it in the winter. His first winter he bunny hopped a curb and slammed into a ditch. I have a friend with a G8 GT who has been pulled out of ditches three times (twice last winter, once this winter). None of my other friends are dumb enough to try driving their RWD cars in the winter. Personally I need vehicles that work year round, as opposed to hiding in the garage all winter.

When I move back to PA, after I'm done with school, I'll be getting a CTS-V. If the GXP is still reliable I'm going to keep that and sell the current CTS. If the GXP is less reliable I'll sell and keep the V6 CTS.

I haven't heard my rear door cylinders vibrate at all so far, the entire car is almost eerily quite while driving. It just kind of hums.
