It’s official…CTS-V Sportwagon is coming our way

March 29, 2010 - 8:36 am

CTSV WagonToday, Cadillac made it official…

The CTS-V Sportwagon is heading our way.

Packing the same aggressive looks of the V-series CTS’ we’ve come to know and love, but with the sleek looks and cargo-hauling capability of the Sportwagon body-style. The V-wagon goes into production in late 2010 with initial sales in North America with Europe and the Middle East to follow.

Here you see the show car version that Cadillac will be putting on display at the New York auto show. Of note is the Midnight Silver paint, first seen on the Cadillac Sixteen Concept.

Expect sales to start by the end of 2010 as a 2011 model with pricing to match that of the CTS-V models already on sale.

Press release below.

GM Readying Twin-Turbo 3.0 DI

March 22, 2010 - 1:48 pm

Looking over at Ford’s EcoBoost 3.5 (in the Taurus SHO, Lincoln MKS, Ford Flex, etc) with a certain amount of envy?

Well, GMI is reporting that GM’s working toward a twin-turbo, direct injection version of the 3.0 V-6 (the base engine for the CTS and SRX) that will rival the EcoBoost 3.5 for power while delivering equal or better economy.

Given the 3.5 from Ford is pumping out over 350hp – this would be a great engine for the XTS as well as perhaps for a M3 fighting ATS. It would do wonders for bridging the gap in the CTS line between the 3.6 and the CTS-V as well.

Of course, a turbo Northstar would have been pretty sweet as well.

Following by a day some questionable ‘up-skirt’ shots of the upcoming CTS-V wagon, is this full-monty version.

This smacks of an intentional leak – especially given the highly posed look of this.

That said – we WANT one!

Automobile Magazine reviews the XTS design

March 18, 2010 - 12:29 pm

XTSPlatThere appears to be but one thing wrong with the new XTS that even the most skilled designers couldn’t fix…

The platform is front-drive, leading to a much shorter front than any ‘flagship’ should possess in this segment.
