Respect the Wagon

The Cadillac CTS-V Wagon does not have fake wooden paneling. It does not have sixteen cup-holders. It does not have bias-ply tires (instead it sports 19 inch run-flats). It is not your family vacation wagon of the 1960's. With 551 ft-lbs of torque it climbs to 60 mph in 4 seconds flat. At 191 mph it's the world's fastest production wagon and tied with the world's fastest production sedan (the CTS-V sedan). Unlike the sedan it has 56 cubic feet of cargo space, but don't think this makes it heavy. It still manages to remain under 4400 lbs. The relatively low weight coupled with the Nurburgring tuned suspension keeps it flat in the twisties too. The only thing not great about it is the 63-72k pricetag.
