Got a CTS-V Wagon for a few days and....
Long story but I am in a CTS-V Wagon for a few days and this thing is insane. So would I spend $70k on a station wagon... nope. Does it look better than the Coupe or Sedan- yes in my opinion. The acceleration on this thing is beyond fast no matter what the speed. Transmission is a little notchy but did I mention the acceleration??? Feels like a Viper.I really have no complaints with the car. What a sleeper.

If I wanted a wagon, the CTS-V would be it, I have even considered the sedan a few times. Definately a sweet car.

I really wish this car looked better - it is a very interesting machine, but the looks just make me want to run. I'm not a snob, but I would not want to be seen in it...

And i think it is the best looking wagon design in years.... Thoughts after my week in it:
-My M3 has the torque of a moped after driving this. -m3 handles better -the acceleratin at any speed is as good as anything i have ever driven -i love airconditioned seats -clutch is HEAVY -why cant bmw do contrast stiching as a reasonable option in the m3? They do it in the m1. -fit and finish is outstanding -adjustable suspension is as good as the m3 Did i mention the torque and acceleration? Until you drive the caddy u have no idea how slow the m3 is. i averaged 14.5mpg all week!!! That was getting on it a lot....
