GM Reveals 2010 CTS Wagon, SRX

GM Reveals 2010 CTS Wagon, SRX
Cadillac expands line and redesigns aging SRX.
www.gminsidenews.com
August 15, 2008



Today General Motors officially released photos and information on the 2010 Cadillac CTS Sport Wagon and 2010 Cadillac SRX crossover at Pebble Beach. Both models are set to arrive in spring 2009. No information or interior photos of the SRX were released, but we anticipate all the details on it to come out during the 2008 LA Auto Show, which is in November. The CTS Sport Wagon will utilize the same 263 HP 3.6L HF V6 and 304 HP Direct-Injected 3.6L HF V6.

Re: GM Reveals 2010 CTS Wagon, SRX

Nice... let's hope that the CTS can hold the fort with the market it competes in...

So far, the choices are getting better and better with GM... still room for improvement with some other brand models... but, we're getting there...

Re: GM Reveals 2010 CTS Wagon, SRX

I have to say I'm impressed! Both cars look great, I'm not much of a fan of any SUV but perhaps the SRX could manage to change my mind.

The CTS wagon is incredible, it's one of the most distictive wagons out there!

The only problem I can see with both cars (CTS in particular) is that rear 3/4 vision must be a nightmare... Check out the size of that C pillar! That would create a blind spot large enough to loose a small country in!

Good thing I won't ever be sitting in one, I'll make do perving on them from the outside.

And that is the million dollar question. If Americans can re-find there once
fondness for wagons, then Caddy has got a winner. Here in Europe, the
wagon is king. Wonder if this wagon will budge slow CTS sales here. I do
like the edgy styling, that clearly distinguishes it from anything German or
Japanese.

Re: GM Reveals 2010 CTS Wagon, SRX

When the first photos of the CTS wagon prototype appeared I felt the C-pillar looked ridiculous. After seeing the production photo I feel its design makes the car look very solid and elegant at the same time. It certainly looks better than the E-Class Merc and A6 Audi.

Re: GM Reveals 2010 CTS Wagon, SRX

CTS wagon only has 25 cu ft of storage(same as '70s sedans).
Legroom is not as much as SRX.
Don't like angled c pillar.Should be nearer to vertical.
But d pillar gives better visibility than cts sedan.

I like the current SRX better.

Re: GM Reveals 2010 CTS Wagon, SRX

I love that wagon, including how the tail lamps are "fins"! I like the current SRX better.....edgier, more daring. But I like how the new one also gives some "fin-ness" to the tail lamp lenses.
