Re: CTS Wagon in Black: New Spy Shot

Re: CTS Wagon in Black: New Spy Shot

I love the CTS and I have no reason to explain why the wagon looks so good to me!! I hope I can get one with the big V-6 and good shocks and springs!!!

Re: CTS Wagon in Black: New Spy Shot

Is this why they will not be bringing the VE Commodore Sport Wagon over here? Do they(Cadillac) think that it would take away sales from them?

Re: CTS Wagon in Black: New Spy Shot

Hopefully is this one does well it make help Pontiac get the Holden sportswagon to, but GM really need to get some really good fuel economy from these cars to show they are a good alternative to heavier and thirstier CUV's

The SRX has the most attractive rear glass I've ever seen. I'm not sure it would work with the CTS, but I hope they can do something similar.

Re: CTS Wagon in Black: New Spy Shot

Why did Caddy go back 5 lug rotors ?? Hadn't noticed this on the 2008's before. Kinda like the looks of the 6 lugs.

Hmmm.... Cadillac sells, big profit margin
Pontiac doesn't, skinny profit margin

Cadillac not as price sensitive as the Pontiac market.
Pontiac's reputation in the crapper for the last 15 years at least.
Would take millions of marketing $$$$ to get people even looking at Pontiac again, no matter how attractive the product.

Stupid Lutz!

Re: CTS Wagon in Black: New Spy Shot

This is Cadillac's first production wagon, if you count the SRX as a crossover, instead of a tall wagon. It does look cool, but it may be the world's least practical wagon. I just hope rear seat headroom is better than the sedan's.

Wonder why they photoshopped the front seat headrest out?

The 6-lug brake rotors were stand alone items not usable on any other GM car. And the resulting six open lug wheels make for odd designs.
Plus the relatively low production of CTS-V's and SRX's made for next to no after market wheels for these cars.....other than custom made 3-piece.
