I have a 2010 CTS-4, not the V, but it's the most boring car I've ever driven. I'm looking to trade it off on a Audi A6.

At highway speeds, I'm running 2.5-3 mph slower than indicated. Bugs the hell out of me that with all the technology available, they can't get a correct speed reading.

Thanks for the advice. Took it on a 200 mile trip last night, but it was a boring drive-Interstate all the way. The weather for this weekend is looking good for the twisties.
