the wife got her new company car friday. she had an 11 cts. to me the xt is a big improvement. i am not a gm fan but the way i see it its your money buy what you want. what i dont like the lack of cooled seats. both my truck and the lincoln have it. the salesman told her cooling the seats makes the leather stiff. it hasnt on mine. the motor according to the salesman idles on 2 cyl. tach drops to 300 rpm. power wise its no 3.5 turbo ford not even close. best mpg so far 21.5. all the alarms that go off if you leave the key fob in the car sounds like a prison break. fit and finish very good. this one has a real backup camera the cts had a very poor one. it dose have wifi. and a dual clutch transfer case.
