A Slight Discrepancy

I was perusing the Cadillac site today when I noticed that the CTS used for the Interior pictures seems to have grown something. It has an automatic transmission but it has a CLUTCH pedal, and last time I checked one has not required a clutch in an automatic since Chrysler's Prestomatic of the early 50's. Someone at the website messed up

Re: A Slight Discrepancy

Is it... is it hidden? Because I just checked the Cadillac website and I saw a brake pedal, an accelerator pedal, and a "dead" pedal. No clutch in any of the interior shots.

Am I missing something?

Re: A Slight Discrepancy

oops sorry. Guess I was looking to hard at the picture.

On a second look of the final picture the (straight on one with all the annoying words) The brake pedal appears thin and in the image it appears that the gas is to far over. So, I thought it was the brake and I do not see a parking brake in the picture.

Just giving you a hard time, on a brighter side you probably upped Caddys visitor count.

I was doing the same thing the other night. It's amazing what idiots will pay for a loaded DTS.

Re: A Slight Discrepancy

Here's what the brake pedal looks like on an automatic CTS:

The gas pedal is hidden in the darkness, therefore you are looking at the clutch and brake.
Remember, GM has done this before.

Thank you I knew someone was playing in photoshop again.
This brings up the question why did they need to photoshop a car that they build?
