Report: Lutz Confirms Cadillac CTS-V SportWagon?  As unlikely as it seems, Cadillac may be preparing to launch a high-performance V version of the CTS SportWagon. The rumors of a 556hp CTS wagon re-emerged when an Autoblog reader reportedly had an email exchange with GM's product boss Bob Lutz where he asked Lutz if a manual transmission version of a CTS-V wagon were to be built, then he would buy one. Lutz is reported to have responded saying, "Since we do market the V with a 6-speed manual, and since the V-wagon is in the plan, we'll be selling you a car in one year!" When asked about this conversation, Cadillac spokesperson David Caldwell responded that, "There's not been an 'official' or announced change in the status of this car. It's certainly a car we're thinking of, and one we know how to do. I can't really speak to what's inside your reader's email account. I don't doubt him… not would I doubt Bob Lutz." We still have our doubts about the V-Wagon, and after Lutz's comments about the Pontiac G8 living on turned out to be false, we'll take his comments with a grain of salt. There is still hope, however, as the arguments for why most European automakers don't bring over their high-powered wagons doesn't hold up with GM. BMW has never offered its M5 wagon here and neither has Audi offered its RS6 Avant. The issue with those cars, however, is their price. Already extremely expensive overseas, cars like the RS6 are prohibitively priced for the U.S. market, with the twin-turbo V10 wagon commanding 110,000 Euros, or $160,000. With the CTS-V and CTS SportWagon already both existing, and priced significantly less than European competitors, the price issue wouldn't be nearly as big a factor. Demand for the car still remains a big question mark. More: Report: Lutz Confirms Cadillac CTS-V SportWagon? on AutoGuide.com |
