Cadillac CTS wagon on the way

Coming as a 2010 model:

Now, if they'll bring out a CTS-V version....

As someone who's never owned a sedan in all my 16 cars (all rear hatches of some sort except for a 325ic) this is the first Cadillac I'd ever consider. It looks really, really good. GM quality has come a long way. The rear visibility looks pretty bad (see the tiny clear space around the rear hatch class?) but it looks like chic, smart design aside from that.

I think it should be more of a SUV and station wagon blend not purely a station wagon. The Dodge Magnum 5.7 liter Hemi and 6.1 liter SRT8 were both beasts and a heck of a lot of bang for the buck (although not as plush as the Cadillac interior I'm sure). I just don't see any uniqueness to this car. Thumbs down for me.

OK, I realize most people who hang out here make more money than I do. And, I realize many of you have multiple cars ... so, the smart(s) you own are just another entry in the collection. BUT, in what way does this car relate to the smart experience?

So, items needn't be smart related. Plenty of other areas here for those. In my mind, this CTS wagon is about as close as we'll ever get to a Corvette wagon.

It looks really nice. It puts an elegant twist to a station wagon.

2010 CTS Sport Wagon should be a great ride if the economy has returned, banks are still making loans and we've got gas.

A couple of Tums should take care of the gas.
