I'm not a big fan of the look... guess I'm just not the station wagon type???

If only they could figure out how to put all that HP in an AWD version...

MHO .... makes the CTS less unique. How many versions is there going to be? 'Should have left it at the CTS coupe .... that was pretty classy.

If I needed a 4 door I would take the wagon over the sedan. I think they look great. Will be interesting to see if the dealers stock them.

I like it, one heck of a nice car. Tracy wasn't too interested till I told her it would beat her TBSS. Trying to get by and drive one.

I didn't like the CTS Wagon or the new SRX, seeing them at the dealer they do tend to wear on you. I think the wagon is much better looking than the SRX. I wouldn't mind having the V wagon but they are special order so are not being stocked as of yet. Would want to try one out before ordering.

I'm one of the V Wagon owners and I'm very happy with it.
556 HP, 6-sp manual, grocery getter.

This is my first post here - followed the link from the Corvette Action Center forums - I own 2 Vettes and a CTS V.

Here's a picture of my V Wagon:

You have some fun toys! I bet the V wagon makes running to the store a whole lot more fun!

It's real kick to drive and a real sleeper. No one else has a clue around my home town. My previous grocery getter was a 2004 CTS V sedan but it got to be too slow.

It's going to the Big Bend Open Road Race in April also. I've got to find a way to mount a fire extinguisher though.

I used a regular CTS Wagon while the XLR was having the new clutches installed. It was more than I expected for a six. I really was impressed. If they would include front parking assist, have automatic dimmers, massaging lumbar seats and a few of the other things my DTS has I would consider the V in place of my DTS but they keep telling me I can not special order to my specs so I guess I will just keep what I have. I agree with Jetboy, it is much better looking than the sedan and more useful.

Yeap, the CTS, even the V-series, does not get some of the options the DTS has. I'm okay with that.

If I was your age I would probably be ok with it also. I use my massaging seat all the time alternating between the heat and cooling. Sure helps on those long trips.
