I really like it. If I was looking for a hot rod wagon this and the Audi would be at the top of the list. Personally I like the looks, the CTS styling looks best on the wagon imho.

Just got a CTS-V Coupe. Very civilized, comfortable, fast, and surprisingly drivable in snow (on Blizzaks). If I needed a wagon, it would have been a good choice. But, the trunk on the coupe is huge. AS

A guy had one at NHMS this fall for a DE event. He was an automotive reporter who was shaking the car down for his article and the thing was STUPID fast. He passed me (which isn't hard) in a hurry and it sounded awesome!

I test drove a non-V CTS wagon last summer and was surprisingly impressed. Ended up going used and slightly smaller but a very nice car and the V power would really make it first rate

I like the fact that are building such cars (I personally like the sedan best)

I also read that to break even on the wagon they only need to sell 37 of them, sounds like sound business practice, and they only build them upon order...sounds like they have learned something

I had a 6 speed CTS-V Wagon to play with for a week, Car is an absolute blast to drive and room for my dog.
I've also sampled the Coupe and Sedan. Grin machines...
