First of all these things don't sell well at all, 2010 Cadillac CTS Sport Wagon
Expected to pack 556 hp, i've seen more C63s and M3s than the CTS-V, now they want to add a wagon, like seriously who in their right mind would buy a cadillac wagon with 556hp? This will be the best out there. Just went to Cadillac 3 days ago to look at a CTS-V, which has a large trunk but the station wagon will make it even better and makes it super-versatile. Actually was asking the salesman the possibility for a CTS-V wagon. Of course, reliability plays a big part...so far the regular CTS seems to have reliablity issue per consumer reports. By the way, interior is beautiful...even wifey agrees on that. Very well designed interior. While details are limited, the forthcoming model will likely be powered by a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 engine with 556 horsepower and 551 ft-lbs of torque. Weighing a tad more than the sedan, the CTS-V wagon should be able to accelerate from 0-60 mph in around 4.1 seconds (the sedan accomplishes the same task in 3.9 seconds).Cadillac has announced that the highly anticipated 2009 Cadillac CTS-V will be priced at $59,995 in the US, with sales starting early next month.
Featuring a supercharged 6.2 liter V8 engine that produces 556hp and 551 ft-lbs of torque, the CTS-V has a more powerful engine than competitors such as the BMW M5, Mercedes E63 AMG, and the Audi S6. More important is the fact that the cheapest of these competitors, the Audi S6, starts $72,350 and has 121hp less than the new Cadillac. Performance figures for CTS-V include a 0-60 mph time of 3.9 seconds and a sub 8 minute lap time around the famous Nürburgring.
Among the few options offered are a 6-speed automatic transmission with steering wheel mounted shift buttons, 14-way adjustable Recaro performance seats, microfiber interior accents, and a sunroof.
When a Car and Driver writer asked if the CTS-V wagon was confirmed, Lutz responded "You'll be able to get the CTS-V any way you want." Vague, but probably accurate - the CTS-V wagon will be joined by the CTS-V Coupe next summer.
