Now I was skimming through some CTS stuff when I came across a link saying that a guy in Spain owned this: "I’m the proud owner of a 2004 Cadillac CTS (V6 engine and 181 HP). It’s black raven and Comfort finished, what in Spain means base equipment (no sunroof, no leather, no navigation). As you are aware all the CTS versions between 2003 and 2007 are basically the same, until the release of the brand new model this year." REALLY? They offered the CTS in cloth over in Europe, and in this picture http://www.mp3car.com/vbulletin/atta...t-interior.jpg there is no heated seat buttons on the climate control system. so now, did they offer this in North America/ America? or no? because i'm intreged by this.. i didn't even know that they did this? Is it all optional or something over there? Pleasse Respond!!

 

I'm also getting mixed results in used cars. I'm seeing all with leather, some without heated seats.

 

I couldn't tell you the reasons behind it all but cars built for export have different standard equipment and options than those built for domestic use. I know government regulation for lighting, safety and emissions as well as language (mph, kph) differ from country to country. BMW's built for use in Germany do not have cup holders. It took a huge letter writing campaign from American buyers to convince BMW to put them in the cars they sell here.

 

weren't the heated seats and power drivers seat standard for the domestic CTS?

 

Power drivers seat is standard. Included in the Luxury Package is memory seat adjuster, 10 way power seat w/lumbar and heated front seats.

 

so, heated seats in the 2003-2007 CTS's weren't standard? i thought they were?
