They announced it many months ago. The new CTS is gorgeous by the way.

The V-Sport is RWD only. The Aisin 8 speed auto is not AWD capable for some reason....

^^ Fixed it.

....because maybe AWD/Turbo and "super car killer" get mixed up randomly for horsepower alone.

I could be wrong though

*runs to check lineage of GTR legacy*

Yup, seem to have a few ingredients in common....lemme go check Suby & Mitsu next, I'll get back to you

lol just jokes....that sux though, I'm sure they could have easily mated an AWD tranny to that mix

GM wanted the ZF 8 speed, but ZF didn't have the capacity.

Makes sense, between Chrysler/Dodge/Maserati, BMW, Jaguar/LR, Audi/Bentley/VW, they really hit a home run.

The Aisin 8 speed seems to work fine in the Lexuses and Porsches though.
