Not your moms station wagon





In unfashion of all things environmental and reasonable, Cadillac has just released the 2011 CTS-V wagon. A balls out rendition of there regular CTS Wagon packing a ridiculous 556 hp and 551lb/ft of torque, probably the most obscure and over the top car an American car company has ever produced. Many European manufactures do have super hot wagons like the RS6 Audi, The E63 Mercedes AMG and the M5 BMW, this Cadillac is a new gun for these established cars to compete with. A far cry from a typical American Lead Sled wagon like a Chevy Caprice or Ford Ltd wagon, The CTS is a sports machine with numbers and technology to back it up, it will run 0-100km/h in four seconds flat(somewhat ferrariesque), brake from 100km/h to 0 in 109 feet and run .90 g's of cornering force in a skidpad. With 6 piston caliper Brembo brakes, A supercharged 6.2 litre ls9 chevrolet motor and super sticky Michelin tires this thing is a beast all the while supplying you with tons of room for your groceries, a bookshelf, a guitar amp, your golf clubs and stuff for a weekend getaway, right after you run hot laps at laguna seca.

A 1992 Chevrolet Caprice and a nice one at that
