Cadillac has removed the CTS and CTS-V Sport Wagons from their website.

They've even altered the tabs at the top to combine crossovers and SUVs instead of having "Sportwagons and Crossovers" and "Luxury Utility."

Goodbye V-Wagon, we hardly knew 'ye.

Goodbye to the normal wagon as well, because without it the V-Wagon would've never had a starting point.

Oh two sport wagon posts in a row. Oops.

Now I can no longer offend you with "most beautiful wagon on sale today".

Hell I didnt even know they had a regular CTS wagon. I've only seen V wagons.

RIP in peace.

I wouldn't mind having a CTS4 wagon.

I think I'll survive so long as the ATS and CTS Vs are batshit insane like I think they're going to be.

The more wagon the better around here I thought?

This is true. But the CTS wasn't the best looking, but it was rather good looking.

I see a few normal wagons from time to time. They're stupidly cheap used because no one wants wagons.

Dammit. I just checked two days ago and was overjoyed at their presence. I still have faith in them to make a new manual, supercharged V8 monster. They bragged their asses off about the stick for years, and now is the time to judge their seven spee... er, sincerity.

Could be a real nice used buy in a few years.

Why is the coupe still on there?

The ATS has a stick already, and since the CTS is most likely getting an engine transplant a la Z06, it better have the damn 7-speed available or someone at Cadillac is getting smacked.

Special edition model. Some sort of "final edition."

One of my teachers at CCS designed that wagon booty. Tis a sad, sad day.

He is currently in Cadillac's advanced studio …. obviously they saw the skills he had.

Must've had part in the Escalade's tail lights. Obviously inspired by the wagon.

Agreed completely. Once the M5 loses a pedal, there would only be one muscular super-sedan you can row your own in. Add the 7 speed and it's the only 7 speed in a non-sports car. I'd like to see an ATS 3.6 available with the 6MT almost as much, because that engine revs like a proper BMW motor of the old days and it should also copy the availability of Manuél.

I'm more of a Ford person, but I'm hoping the ATS and CTS Vs are good replacements. More importantly, I'm praying they don't try to make them sound like V8s, BMW did this with the M3 and M4 and it sounds like shit inside/interior. If it's a V6, make it sound like a V6 dammit.

I've always wondered why the 3.6 didn't get the option of a stick since that's basically the V6 Camaro drive train, which gets a stick.

Well the CTS-V will be getting a V8, so that works. I haven't read anything about them using sound synthesizers in the interior, so the ATS-V should just sound like a pissed 6.

I didn't even fucking think of that. Makes too much sense to not be true, the timing even works out.

He's now made to fabulous asses in his semi-short career with Cadillac.

The CTS-V keeps the V8?? :D

Definitely. The "high feature" V6 has been around since Cadillac's revitalization, and having been backed up by an Aisin 6MT in the large last-gen CTS, it seems ridiculous to keep it from the most fun-to-drive Cadillac (and sweet spot of their ATS range between 2.0 and V) other than the CTS-V. That's a very spirited engine with a sporty character and great sound.

They advertise each different length of Escalade as a separate model? gtfo Cadillac.

So does GMC with the Yukon XL and Chevy with the Suburban, what's the problem?

And actually they're consolidated into one Escalade/ESV for 2015.

That very engine is what really brings my mom's Vue to life. It's absolutely lovely in every aspect.

Yessir, albeit with a supercharger mounted on top, not that that's any different than the old one.

As long as I can have a CTS-V with a supercharged V8, I'm happy. :)

I finally saw one of these in matte grey earlier, it was really damn nice in person!

Except after seeing it in the flesh, I have to ask this: what exactly makes it a "wagon?" It looked almost like a hatchback to me. I need technical enlightenment.
