I just did this today. No high pressure (at least, not yet). And frankly, at 9:30 on a Monday morning, I think the guy was glad to have a potential customer--the place was a ghost town.

I'm sure they hate people coming in on Saturdays to do this, though.

And, if I was in the market--the car was pretty nice... I'd seriously consider getting one for the right price. And..there's over $4,000 in incentives available if you don't currently own a GM car.

The notice that I got in the mail doesn't show the A7 as qualifying--did you convince the sales person to write it up as an A6 test drive?

The fine print said to allow. 4-6 weeks. Sounds about right for these types of things.

I think it was 3/31. I went last week; card is supposed to come in 6-8 weeks. The dealer submits the info on your behalf, so ... who knows ...

Audi's offer, which expires later in April, you enter the info yourself on the website, so I know it was done.

Audi has a $75 offer that expires 4/18. I got a card in the mail, so I'm not sure if you can just walk in off the street and qualify, like at Caddy.

Went last night. Salesguy asked how serious I was. Told him one year from now is when I'd be ready. Filled out the form, but no test drive. No pressure and no hard feelings.

I went in today and the dealership wasn't aware the offer had been extended. They had trouble logging on to the web site and said they needed a new password for the extended offer. Took my info and said they'd call when things were submitted and I could come in and pick up my confirmation. I'm not holing my breath.

I did see a new CTS on the floor optioned up to $70.8k!

I went yesterday to test drive and card of course... The sales man (a kid) was quite knowledgeable and not pushy at all. He kept complimented my car (2is). He probably didn;t understand why I would even consider the Cadillac (ATS).
Sure enough when he started to walk me around one and than i took it for a spin. I can tell few things:
- it is way behind Lexus
-the barebone has half the feature of a standard lexus.yet only few $low.
the wheel and desh have some highgloss material which is horrible, it's a fingerprint magnet, you cannot have that car nice as you'll always have fingerprints all over it.
I test drove2.0 turbo and was quite sporty comparing with my 250 at low RPM but was not all that imp[ress. Turbo lag was quite annoying.
Bottom line I thing it is a very overprice car. Still same american quality (crap).
You must be really patriot and have a huge hate on imports to consider those IMO.
