Cadillac CTS-V Sport Wagon Confirmed: When Wagons Become Cool

Up until today, you could not convince me that wagons, or what some of you call ‘station wagons’, are cool. I think they are hideous and plain butt ugly but lately my old-school perception has changed with the introduction and confirmation of the new Cadillac CTS-V Sport Wagon coming out.

The new Cadillac CTS-V Sport Wagon is pretty bad-assed if you ask me. It has a rear-end that I would want to ahh-cough-cough, open and CLOSE. Not only does the CTS-V Sport Wagon look pleasing to the eye, it should do a number to your back when you press the gas pedal laying down 556 horsepower and 551 ft-lbs of torque. The big 6.2-liter V8 crammed into the CTS-V Sport Wagon is good for a run from 0 to 60mph in 4.1 seconds. Yea, beat that Clark Grisswald, let’s see your station wagon with wood on the side do that. I bet I could get the CTS-V airborne too buddy!

The confirmation of the Cadillac CTS-V Sport Wagon making its away to the production lines and dealerships during the summer of 2010 comes after Bob Lutz basically told Car and Driver, “You’ll be able to get the CTS-V any way you want.” Well, guess what Bob, I want mine with wood on the side!

    This wagon is very cool but I don’t think that Cadillac is doing anything amazing here or reinventing the wheel. Take a look at the Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG or the Audi RS 6 Avant. Both are wagons that are similar to if not surpass this Cadillac.

    I totally agree Jon! Audi has had some of the nicest “wagons” not to mention some of BMW’s older models. Cadillac is not doing anything “new” at all.

    Cadillac is not breaking any ground here… just a 1/2 of an upgrade..

    No one said they were reinventing the wheel, it’s simply good news that this great looking wagon will be available as a V-series (wasn’t in the original plan). I wouldn’t say this news is worthy of someone changing course on their wagon leanings, but it’s certainly going to be a great product.

    nothing much changed with its exterior but with its looks, i dont think it should be categorized under sports car. it looks like a family car.
