last week i went to a cadillac dealer to check out the new 2008 cts. they had 2 on hand, both with an automatic transmission. i asked if they will be getting any in with a manual transmission, and the dealer told me cadillac will not release the cts in a manual transmission because of low sales in the prior years. every car magazine that i have read mentions this vehicle in both transmissions, and many critics prefer the manual over the automatic. its a sports sedan! does anyone have any inside information on the new 304 horsepower 2008 cadillac cts in a manual transmission? something tells me this dealer was blowing out hot air.
