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.
The 98th Grey Cup went down yesterday in Edmonton with the Montreal Alouettes and Anthony Calvillo, taking the cup over the Saskatchewan Rough Riders in the championship game. It was a sold out affair in chilly Edmonton, which saw approximately 400000 fans descending on the town to take part in revellry and other such affairs. It was a very nationalistic event where the army was involved, droves of fans from all over came and canadian rock legends BTO performed. The Grey Cup definetly lacks the corporate slick that the Super Bowl has with its big buisness intrests, but our hokey football league puts on a good show alltogether, highlighting the best that Canada has to offer for football done totally our style.
