GM’s carnality administrator Bob Lutz has accepted that the 556-hp Cadillac CTS-V wagon will absolutely become a assembly reality. Lutz alone the W-bomb during a contempo one-on-one account while discussing how to prime the bazaar for air-conditioned burden haulers—like a accessible Buick Regal wagon—especially amid the over-35 set that grew up traumatized by wood-paneled Grand Marquis and Chrysler K-car wagon-trocities. Then Lutz said, “You apperceive what’s absolutely activity to get you guys [on lath with wagons] is the CTS-V wagon.”
“Oh, has the wagon been confirmed?” we asked, already acquainted that the hot-rod CTS would additionally be accessible as a coupe. “Yes,” he replied, “You’ll be able to get the CTS-V any way you want.”
As accepted wagon lovers, we kept an alien cool, but inside, we were overjoyed. After all, with its 0–60 time of 3.9 abnormal and able-bodied looks, the CTS-V auto has been a huge admired of ours back its debut, and we can’t delay to see how the CTS-V auto looks and drives back it assuredly appears abutting year. But this was the aboriginal we’d heard anyone accommodating to go on almanac absolutely acknowledging the wagon. Speculation and rumors, yes, but annihilation official. (Of course, accustomed Maximum Bob’s ability for the affecting and his affirmation this summer that the Pontiac G8 would alive on as the Chevrolet Caprice—which didn’t happen—we’ll delay to absolutely breathe until we accept an absolute columnist absolution on the topic.)
While Lutz didn’t accommodate a time anatomy for this best abundant CTS-V’s arrival, we aboveboard acclaim GM’s accommodation to accord it the blooming light, as such a able wagon can alone advice the cast body believability in Europe. (The accomplished “ridiculously able wagons are cool kick-ass” affair has us appealing excited, too.) Indeed, Europe is area wagons rule, and already launched on the Continent, the CTS-V wagon—bet on an official name of CTS-V Sport Wagon—would be additional alone to the 580-hp Audi RS6 Avant in the ability wars, and with its 551 lb-ft of torque, the Caddy would be in a chic by itself. As for its affairs over here, can you say, “Cult Caddy?”
