I think you'll love it, just as I did. I have to wonder about its prospects, though. All the SRX's were moving on the day I was at my dealer. But the Wagon sat there, un-noticed. The CTS is considerably more expensive, though.

Yes, and because it was a "tall" wagon, the exterior proportions were abysmal. Also, the first gen interior was poor.

So, no - I expect this car to win comparos and sell.

Welsh has a tendency to compare cars that aren't in the same price bracket. I've noticed this before in his articles. I guess it doesn't matter though, if someone is looking for a wagon, choices are slim so there would probably be a wide price disparity anyways.

megeebee is correct...Cadillac has never built a car based wagon ever...

There are several good web sites with tons of pics of Cadillac wagons...but they were all done aftermarket.

Unfortunately I have to ask GM once again, where is the center headrest in the rear?

It is standard in the european version
