Thumbs up Cadillac CTS wagon leaked

We've seen the 2010 Cadillac CTS Sport Wagon before, being tested on the road masked up with black camo. Now we've got some detailed info on the General's upcoming Caddy. Thanks to tipster Wally, this document from a Harris Poll opinion survey not only shows what the wagon will look like, but what specifications we can expect under the "Art & Science" skin. We'll take ours with the 304 HP 3.6-liter direct-injection V6 connected to the 6-speed automatic, but apparently a 260 HP 3.0-liter V6 and all-wheel-drive will also be available. Evidently, pricing will be in the $37,500 to $42,500 range. For that coin, you'll reportedly get equipment like full-time traction control, electronic stability control, side curtain airbags, and UltraView double-size sunroof, 8-speaker Bose stereo, available 5.1 Surround Sound with hard drive music storage and live radio pause/re-play, available pop-up touch-screen navigation system, and of course OnStar.

Open up the power-operated lift-gate, and you'll find 25 cubic feet of cargo space, and 58 cubic feet of cargo space when you put down the split-folding 2nd row seat. That's not quite enough room to fit a casket in the back, but we have a feeling that this is one Cadillac wagon that won't be used for hearse duty.

I know those pics are small but from what I see it looks FABULOUS. The SUV grill and thick D pillars give it a tough look but it still seems elegant.

Caddy really is doing their thing with the CTS.

One thing it be so nice if Lexus has a wagon. Thing is an IS wagon would almost cost as much as a RX

I will probably change my mind if they totally restyle the inside and out of the RX for next year.

A new, hot take on the wagon. I like this a lot, more than the CTS coupe variant.

Overall shape reminds me of the Magnum except shorter. Very nice.

So a CTS sedan, coupe, and wagon...

Didn't see that coming.

It be nice if they have a CTS-V Wagon, that thing could eat up a lot of cars. It could almost do a nice number of the Audi RS6 Avant.

Not quite. The RS6 has a twin turbo 5.0L V10 borrowed from Lamborghini pushing out 572 hp. All wheel drive and 20 inch wheels over 15.6 inch carbon ceramic brakes by brembo.


The CTS-V would be a nice car. Just not at the German level.

I guess.

6.2 L V8 550 hp RWD vs 5.0 L V10TT 572 hp AWD

The way I see it. If Cadillac wants to do a real nice number they can actually use the 6.2 L Supercharged-V8 638 hp that is in the ZR1, true it still be an RWD wagon but hey some people like RWD.

Plus one thing, doesn't the CTS have an option for AWD anyways?
