Having a similar design theme is a benifit. It gives the models a family face that makes them recognizable. Any time you see a modern Cadillac you know it's a Cadillac, same with BMWs, Mercs, Audis, etc.
As for building a wagon, why not have a coupe, sedan and wagon version of the most popular model? They will most likeley do the same for the upcoming C-segment model, just like the German companies do. I don't think they need an S-segment wagon, but they need a big coupe and hopefully we'll see that too with the Zeta DTS/STS replacement. I would also like to see a C and E-segment convertible. I don't think Cadillac needs a Lambda or Theta-Epsilon, but an Alpha-based crossover to match the likes of the X3 would be nice to replace the SRX which isn't needed thanks to the Escalade. Let Buick sell the luxury family 3-row crossover along with subdued (not flashy, i.e. blingtastic like Caddy) luxury cars.
