Do the 08s come with AWD? The ride heights are insane

That's one thing that really bothers me about these cars is the insane amount of gap between the top of the tire and the bottom of the fender. To clarify, the ride height of the car itself is not too high, as there is very little ground clearance under the car, which is why it's really not practical to lower the car too much if you're going to drive it daily. But why couldn't GM have designed the car better so that the fenders didn't have such a huge gap from the top of the tire? BMW and Mercedes do this very well, there cars have the look like they are lowered since their fender gaps are tight, but the bottom of the cars themselves are high enough to be practical.

My wife loves the color! She thinks its specifically intended to woo the women. She is in marketing, so I guess she could be right.

I think the caddy is going to use the crystal red too. Go to the cadillac web site and see Leno standing next to what I think is a crystal red CTS.

I think that's the glass roof panel. The solid one is the same color as the body.

Don't like it. Looks like a recent color on a Miata.

Default Finally!

Been waiting a long time. This is the first photo of the JS Blue I've seen with the glass top.

<--- Ordered JSB sight unseen. Then I saw one in person. Didn't like at all, so I changed my order. Advice to anyone: Also see the color and interior and wheels first, before you order! You may otherwise regret it.

My pics were taken around noon on the 26 but the cars were there a 8:00 in the morning because we seen them when we went on the 9:00am tour.
