[edit] Matrix Reloaded
isn't giving "the matrix reloaded" film ALL the credit for the CTS's success unrealistic? It is implied in the article. Maybe crediting the success of the CTS with being "substantially due to the impact..." might be better. Even if the MT article does suggest it's ALL due to the movie(?), that's just one car magazine's opinion. versen 05:42, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
I also do not like how the article establishes the opinion from one magazine article as if it's a widely recognized fact. I have no problem with the article reference, but it should be put here as a claim by one person.
Also, what is the deal with the scene by scene description of The Matrix Reloaded? This is a car article, not a Matrix fansite. Heck, even the Matrix Reloaded article itself should not have this much plot detail - so I added a "plot" tag in hopes it gets cleaned up into one paragraph at most. --Vossanova o< 14:11, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Catera Touring Sedan?
I can hardly believe Cadillac's full name for the car is "Catera Touring Sedan", as someone has recently (re-)added. Any official source? If you saw it in a magazine, then they probably made that name up as a little joke. --Vossanova o< 14:31, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
No it's not. Someone out there on the forums reported that GM had officially replied to their inquiry stating that it's "C-class Touring Sedan" (same for STS,DTS. SRX is "Sport Recreation Crossover", if memory serves). I cannot find the "catera suggestion" on this page anymore but if the need arised I can find my source. Though I presume GM came up with these "full versions" after they invented the acronyms, not vice versa ;-) Dimitri.saltanov 04:41, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:CTSMartix.jpg
Image:CTSMartix.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] CTC and CTW - Really?
What is the source of the statement that Cadillac will (definitely) introduce coupe and wagon, that they will be 2009 MY and that their names will be CTC and CTW respectively? AFAIK Cadillac has not made any announcements of this kind yet. Dimitri.saltanov 04:31, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Mid-size or entry-level?
Is the 08 CTS considered an entry-level car (like MB C-class, BMW 3-series, Audi A4) or a mid-size car (MB E-class, BMW 5-series, Audi A6)? Most people compare the CTS to the former category even though it's closer in size to the latter. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 219.95.253.49 (talk) 04:45, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
The CTS is a mid-size car and does compete with the 5-series, the E-class, the A6. The problem with the CTS being compaired with the 3-series, C-class, and the A4 is that those compairisons are done by matching the prices of a base CTS with a base 3, C or A4.--24.89.215.104 (talk) 02:37, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
That's American value for ya ;) Chaparral2J (talk) 06:22, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Formatting
Can someone bulk up the First Generation entry with more information, maybe a couple pictures, so that it can tier up with info box? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sydtron (talk • contribs) 02:35, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
