A lot of people never thought we’d see the day when Cadillac announced production of a station wagon, let alone a 556-horsepower station wagon.  Well, it’s here, and it’s the CTS-V SportWagon.  TV Commercials have shown the CTS SportWagon, but Cadillac kept saying it would never make the performance-oriented V variant of it.  They lied.  Those of you with Hemi-powered Dodge Magnums who are looking to replace it, stand up.  Your car has arrived.  With the same supercharged V8 powertrain as the CTS-V and CTS-V Coupe, the SportWagon has plenty of get-up-and-go to go with its sleek design.

Cadillac’s hero car, the CTS, was designed from the beginning to bring Cadillac into the 21st century and show that they could compete with the likes of BMW and Mercedes.  Introduced as a 2003 model, and redesigned for the 2008 model year, the CTS has indeed shown its competition that America can still build great cars, worthy of the world’s attention.  In fact, the high performance edition of the CTS sedan, called the CTS-V, was pitted against the BMW M5, another purebred sports sedan, and beat it!  This past year, Cadillac announced that they were coming out with a wagon based on the CTS, called the CTS Sport Wagon, which is on sale now.  Today, they announced a new sibling to the CTS and CTS Sport Wagon, called the CTS Coupe.
