tCE 2008 CTS Review - electronics and entertainment

Dear Sir/Madam
I have been looking at your 2008 Cadillac CTS review (tCE 2008 CTS Review – electronics and entertainment – November 30, 2007 – 12:32 pm) And have found you have the best photos available on the Internet.
What I am unsure about is the color of the vehicle in the photos. In the review you said Thunder Grey, but the photos look slightly green/blue/grey. The reason is that I am interested in buying the new CTS, but am not sure what color? I really like the color in your review photos!
Please can you confirm, if the review pictures are Thunder Grey. As other websites show (including Cadillac.com) Thunder Grey is Grey, not that nice greeny, blue grey on your photos.
Please help.
Hope to here from you soon

That is Thunder Grey (or Gray as we call it on this side of the pond). It is at times simply a dark gray, though it is a ‘color-shift’ paint that takes on blue or green tones depending on the light and angle.
If you can pick up a brochure at your nearest Cadillac retailer (or perhaps order through the UK Cadillac web site) it should have a color sample that might show the shift in action, depending on how hard they are trying to make the color samples match the actual paint.
Care to comment?

My only issue with the new entry system is the lack of personalization available compared to my 2003 or 2006 CTS. Example being the tilting mirrors, past CTS entry allowed key one to tip the right mirror and if key two did not like tipping mirrors then that key could be programmed not to allow tipping. Another thing is the horn on lock one of our drivers likes that but other is not a fan of it. Guess what both drivers now get the horn honk on lock. However not needing to look for a fob to push to unlock the doors or open the trunk is very big plus. Pod and built in hard drive are very features as well.
