Here’s something that was half way expected… the bastardization of the CTS model – and in this case, it’s not a bad thing. There’s already one in regular flavor, CTS-V, CTS Sport Wagon, and now the CTS-V Sport Wagon. The CTS is a very capable premium midsize offering from Cadillac, and the first American premium vehicle that will give the Euro/Asian models a run for the money (at least in the last 2 decades).
The CTS styling is at or near the top of the crop, at least at the moment. It is very attractive, athletic, and masculine without turning off the female buyers. The CTS-V Sport Wagon is the best looking in the premium wagon (or any wagon) segment, by far. Whoever designed the CTS Wagon deserves a raise, seriously!
Some testosterone-laden numbers to go with this beauty are as follows:
- 556HP/551TQ Supercharged 6.2 liter V8 engine
- 6 speed manual or 6 speed automatic with paddle shifters
- Brembo Brakes with Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 tires
Like the Toyota Sienna ad tagline… Daddy like!
The CTS-V Sport Wagon will be a limited availability starting in late 2010 as a 2011 model.
