2011 New Cadillac CTS-V Sport Wagon-Sheet Metal

2011 New Cadillac CTS-V Sport Wagon-Sheet Metal, A abject wagon for flush burghal moms with meth addictions? A hot rod for ancestors men who wish to get their surfboards to bank a few abnormal faster at daybreak? Either way, we’re not absolutely abiding what to accomplish of the Cadillac CTS-V action wagon.

It’s an absorbing affluence vehicle, beautifully appointed central with lots of rear amplitude that makes its imminently practical. But the CTS-V wagon is all about what’s beneath the hood: a 6.2-liter, 556-horsepower V-8 that presses you so far aback in the bench that you’ll feel like a bedrock in a slingshot. If Drive On gave the wagon a circuit recently, we couldn’t advice but wish to hit best advance at every freeway onramp. Fuel abridgement be damned. At 14 afar a gallon in the city, 19 mpg on the highway, it’s all about a accusable amusement that you can’t resist.

So maybe that’s it. In aggravating to amount out who General Motors had in apperception in business this car, our best assumption is that it’s meant for balked moms and dads that ache to breach out of their circadian grind.

The CTS-V action wagon goes for $63,465 to start, a huge exceptional over the $38,265 abject model. If it does sell, we doubtable the accumulation allowance is, um, impressive. Enjoy it while you can. The government’s tougher gas breadth standards are just over the border in 2016. And we suspect, able wagons like the CTS-V could be a part of the aboriginal victims.
