It's easy to say that modern automatics are more fuel efficient when you gear them tall as hell and intentionally short-gear your manuals.

Make a CTS wagon with DI, AWD, and MT and you'll get my attention.

i think the gt with a six speed is a way better deal than the gxp. i dont think the extra 40 hp is worth the premium.

This is great news... So, the AFM issue that was rumored to be a problem (GM source) was a bunch of crap or did they have time to figure it out? I'm too lazy to check.... how good is the Tremec six speed?

I bet you'll get AWD and DI on the wagon but it will be a slushbox, good slushbox though. Only 1 in maybe a 1,000 would buy a manual in a CTS wagon. I don't think you can even get AWD and a manual in the sedan, think it has to be paired with the auto.
