Cadillac wants to turn this...
General Motors product Big Cheese, Bob Lutz, has confirmed that the hot Cadillac CTS-V will get the Sportwagon estate car treatment.
Okay, so it's not officially official, but in an interview with US car mag Car and Driver, Maximum Bob did let it slip that the CTS-V wagon - as well as the 'V' version of the forthcoming CTS coupe - would be heading for production.
Speaking to C and D, Maximum Bob said: "What's really going to get you guys [on board with wagons] is the CTS-V wagon." He also hinted at a planned coupe version, saying: "You'll be able to get the CTS-V any way you want."
...into something like this
Should it come to fruition (or, indeed, European roads), the hot Caddy wagon, with its 548bhp supercharged V8, will be second only to the 572bhp Audi RS6 Avant in the fast estate horsepower battle, while its 551lb ft would put it well in the lead in the battle of torque.
As we reported in late September, when talk of the car first reached the ears of PH, the new Cadillac CTS-V Sportwagon could even be available with a choice of manual or automatic transmissions.
It all sounds rather tasty. Let's just hope that Lutz isn't speaking out of GM corporate turn again, as he did with this summer's pronouncement that the Holden Commodore/Vauxhall VXR8/Pontiac G8 would be reborn as a new US-market Chevy Caprice...
