#5 of 26 GM marketing by wilhem May 31, 2009 (3:31 am)
The Cadillac wagon is another example of GMs foresightedness. Why make a wagon without a capacity to seat 7? The Chevy Camaro is another there's no trim level with the navigation system. Isn't this 2010? GM is just plain stupid.

The last time I was on a site that allows you to configure a CTS (sedan at the moment) the stick was listed as discontinued. I was configuring it with a direct injection engine however, the stick may, at least theoretically, still be available with the base engine.

Replying to: bhill2 (May 19, 2009 12:51 pm) I am not so sure Cadillac needs a CTS Sport Wagon, unless it will be more useful or popular than the SRX. They don't need both of these, so whichever is best as a small SUV is what they should make.   If only offering the Auto Trans helps keep the design cost down, they should do that, since they won't sell enough sticks. Sticks belong in the CTS-V. Replies to this message: bhill2 (Jun 12, 2009 12:24 pm)

Replying to: artmbgolf (Jun 12, 2009 11:52 am) I'm not sure that the CTS Sport Wagon and the SRX would cannibalize each other greatly. Not everyone wants an SUV, especially someone shopping a CTS in the first place. The Sport Wagon is smaller and holds less, but it is also faster, less thirsty, and more agile. Of the two, I would definitely choose the Sport Wagon, although opinions obviously differ.
#9 of 26 Sounds interesting by plawin1 Jun 17, 2009 (8:34 pm)
I'm interested in this car. I've read that Cadillac wants to compete 1:1 with the Germans, and even sell in Europe. Over there, a wagon is a must have.   The German wagons are all very expensive. For example, the BMW is the 535xi model and starts at $55,800. An AWD, direct injection CTS starts around $40,000. If they can keep the wagon in that neighborhood, it might work for me.   The interesting thing is that Cadillac is running lots of magazine ads with photos of the wagon. But it's not "for sale" on their website. I believe that they shut the CTS factory down after they had committed to the ads. I just hope the wagon is still on the line when the factory starts up again.

Replying to: plawin1 (Jun 17, 2009 8:34 pm) My dealer tells me that the launch was pushed back from spring to late summer. Apparently the marketing for the product was still locked and loaded so they went with it.

Hope you are well. It's been a long time. How about the goings on at av123? There is a fundamental prob with the CTS and CTS wagon for people with long legs. My legs hide the temp readout on the climate control. Also back seat legroom. The CTS doesn't have a lot, whereas the SRX was decent in both regards. I'm still interested in it though. CTS wagon production was moved back from May to July 20 with the cars not appearing at dealers until the beginning of August.   I'm on my second SRX(a '07) and GTO('06).

Thanks for the dates. I haven't been able to get this much information anywhere else.

Replying to: b4z (Jun 22, 2009 12:29 pm) Hi b4z...sorry I didn't see your reply earlier.   I will agree that the climate control locations suck for those with extra long legs. It's my only major complaint with the design. I note that the 2010 SRX leaves the climate control buttons where they are but the visual temp settings are now on the central screen where it belongs. But the CTS climate control issue is offset against the extremely generous front leg room. It reminds me of some earlier BMW 3 series cars that were organized this way. This is why the current CTS will be my next car, as soon as I pay off our SRX next year.   The rear seat room with the CTS doesn't both me as much because I don't sit back there. That being said, it might be a problem for my kids in the way that a car booster seat might be mounted. Again, not a problem enough to influence a buying decision.   Av123 hasn't had their forum opened in 6 months after things got out of control there and the company started having some financial difficulties due to the recession. But things are still humming there and I think they will whether the storm.
