Inside Line: 2011 Cadillac CTS-V SportWagon

it's as if...it lost 1/2 its value the moment you signed

There is no way they will be had for that much less in only two years.

"And shake traffic this Caddy will. Like the hell spawn of GM, the wagon transforms from docile mommy mobile to ass-tearing thunder truck in one stomp of the pedal. And it will do it with a kid and a load of lawn fertilizer in the back."

Awesome.

I hate that they are perpetuating stereotype that wagons are for families. Families buy SUVs and minivans. Wagons are for single young active adults who want to drive something fun while they are hauling gear to do something else that is fun

Yup. Today, the SUV and Minivan fits the stereotype the "wagon" once did. Wagons pretty much have a rebirth now. And I'll gladly take one. lol

time to lobby my buddy to get this once his baby arrives and his lease on the C55 AMG ends :biggrin:

Bastard is the reason why I drive the E350 4Matic... He took us to his test drive...

I'm guessing they'll be available for $40-$45k easily in 2 years. 2 years is a pretty long time in resale value, and the more expensive the car, generally the faster it drops, unless you're in the exotic realm. Look at 2009 M5s right now for an example of the ludicrous drop in vehicles like these.

'09 M5, 4k miles, $59k

That one has a pack of options that end up setting you back about 96k out the door, from a base of 87.5k. So 4k miles and less than two years of use = $36k in lost value That's not even counting taxes/fees/etc that are above and beyond sticker value loss.

Looks even worse than the CTS-V wagon.

But it'll cost you almost 10x as much

I think I still prefer this one: http://www.carzi.com/2008/10/03/ferrari-456-venice-station-wagon-photos/

The CTS-V would likely humiliate it in terms of actual performance, though.
