📰 Auto News Spy Shots: Cadillac CTS Wagon!

[Mook]

Codenamed internally as the GMX 206, the Cadillac CTS Wagon has clearly gone beyond the consideration phase within GM's hallowed halls and is actively being developed. This prototype was just caught by spy photographers and the profile is unmistakable evidence that the CTS will soon get some extra cargo space. Cadillac's plan to expand the CTS into a full-fledged lineup that can compete with the likes of the the BMW 3-Series and Audi A4 hinges on producing more variants than just the sedan. The CTS Coupe Concept was introduced at the Detroit Auto Show in January, so it's no surprise that we're seeing the wagon in development now and we would expect a convertible version of the coupe eventually, as well. Sources say that Cadillac will build around 10,000 - 12,000 units of the CTS wagon at the same Lansing Grand River Assembly Plant as the sedan and coupe, with most of those being earmarked for sale in Europe. And we have to say that the Family Truckster has never looked so sharp.

sorry but that is fucking gay. Has caddy ever made a wagon?

 

[Mook]

did u even read the article and why they are making a wagon? makes perfect sense to me

 

[PANDA]

They make cars like this

to compete with this

and ends up in failure. Id say make something that the other guys dont have. Make people come to GM for the car that works for them. GM has todo something to get out of dept, the ZR1 isnt going to pull the whole company out.

cadillac certainly doesnt compete w/ what you have in mind the cts and ctsv are aimed squarely at bmw and audi....the general wants to flesh out the cts brand to compete squarly w/ the markets the germans cover....its not surprised at all...audi has wagons that are hugely successful, cadillac can too....look at the escalade..soccer moms eat that shit up

actually the HHR sells quite well panda... even though its ugly as shit

soccer mom dont give a shit about wagons, they want the biggest SUV they can so then can drive the kids to practice getting 10 mpg. Most of the people drive SUV's as a status symbol. Probably 80% of the SUV's on the road will NEVER tow something or be filled at capacity. Thats something I hate when I see people driving SUV's that don't even need them. Its because people driving these useless trucks that we have such a high demand for gas, causing higher prices for everyone.

Im saying just cuz SUV's sell dont mean wagons will. I dont see many BMW and Audi wagons around.

ill stick to my

SUV's=shitty gas mileage

wagons=better gas mileage for almost the same cargo load(depending on the car)

They need to bring back the b-body Caprice wagons

I see this as a smart move for Caddy. Mercedes, BMW and Audi all have wagons and the CTS is obviously a versatile and truly awesome platform. I bet they axe the SRX and bring in this as well as an SUV that's smaller than the SRX.
