We had these types of restraints on the two-tone interior and chrome wheels (once they finally became available) that caused a lot of headaches for people. At the begining GM had a 10% constraint I believe on the two-tone which really hurt a lot of orders since that option was very popular.
Automatic Transmission Info!!!
OK, here is what I know about this...
On every allocation batch GM is authorizing the acceptance of a small percentage of Automatic Transmissions on a 1st come 1st serve basis so only those dealers who order their image early (as soon as they get it) with an Auto will have the chance to fall within those who came 1st and where served 1st and will be allowed to order them.
My suggestion here is that the person in charge of placing orders at the store you are ordering from needs to be aware of this and be ON THE BALL as soon as they get the image available and send it in. There is no way to know if in this 2nd batch there will be Autos available but there is a really good chance that if they ARE available they will be offered in the same fashion. :thumbs:

The automatic from the Cadillac CTS (5L40E.) When used in the CTS it has driver input shift control for shifting it like a manual transmisstion. The GM WEB site states “The tap-up/tap-down capability allows the driver to manually select gears by momentarily moving the gear lever forward or backward in a manual shift gate.”
I've been driving automatics so long that I'm loking forward to the manual shifting of the past. Paddle shifting I think I would like but baby steps:lol: :lol: Maybe when my arm gets tired.
