Just got a '14 GS 350 AWD - only nits are the above mentioned sunglass holder and the removal of the heated steering wheel in the '14.

No heated steering wheel in the '14?
That's odd.

I have a '14 with cold weather package, can confirm that I have heated steering wheel.

What do you guys put in that little pop open storage space on the left side?

I love my GS, but I would give the 2014 Cadillac CTS V-Sport some serious thought too if I were on the market now.

Have you driven it? I have, sharp car, rides and drives great...but inside it still lags compared to the GS. Expensive too, optioned similarly the CTS is $10k more than the GS.

I agree. I thought about test driving the caddy, but won't. I'm not changing out my GS anytime soon.

I test drove, and gave serious consideration to the CTS. The package I was looking at was 4.5k more than the GS luxury package, but it had the heads up, and they had them available. As SW13GS said, the interior is nowhere near the GS. There was too much cheap looking plastic crap in the CTS for the price. I'll certainly revisit the caddy when its time to turn in the GS in 3 ys.

Spare change, some emergency dollar bills, membership cards.

I didn't think the 2014 CTS V-Sport was even available yet to the public until January? I've only seen the reviews.

The twin turbo motor sounds like fun.

Don't know about the V-Sport, but the CTS itself is definitely out now.

None at all!!!! took my wife from a 2011 IS250 f-sport to a $54k msrp 2013 and she loves it. Tons more room and standard features. The GS F-sport was out of our price range but still a excellent car!!
