I want this one... CTS-D Estate...

[gm4life]

On GM Media in Europe they had tons of photographs of the new Cadillac CTS-D Estate Wagon with the 2.9L Diesel V6 Turbo and they were sweet. If I got any CTS it would be a CTS Estate Wagon and it prolly would have a Diesel as well but no AWD. Am I the only one drooling over this thing.

So is anyone in love with this thing like I am... Of course I would rather have an STS V6 with performance package and Brembo brakes and summer tires or a DTS Performance. But the CTS Estate Wagon is pretty sweet.

There is the badge for proof.

Looks like you and I have something in common after all!

[Drew Dowdell]

Damn those are hot shots! Thank you for finding/posting them.

GM is making a HUGE mistake not bringing this over in diesel form...... Even if they only did it in limited numbers, there'd be a waiting list for them!

[gm4life]

Listen we do have things in common Oldsmobli you a great guy with a good taste in cars. So were not getting the diesel? I thought we were, maybe they'll chang there mind there is still time.

[gm4life]

Glad to post the shots I'll get you the link to the full album and there are plenty other sweet CTS shots too.

I emailed Lutz. He said no.

But that was a year ago at least.

That is just plain dumb and crazy it would help that bloody cafe crap too. You have Lutz's email? I would love to give that man a piece of my mind. :smilies-38096:

PCS said everyone at GM's email changed. So what I have probably no longer works.

I did get a personal reply way back when though.

[gm4life]

That is cool and I do hope that they change there mind.

[Z-06]

Sex on wheels.

Make it three who like and will buy this machine.

GM needs to get one four pot, one six pot and one eight pot diesel in United States ASAP. It seems like other than the 4.5L V-8 they have plans for none.

[gm4life]

SmallChevy I won't be buying a Cadillac for sometime I owned one tho and loved it.

[smk4565]

I just read that Cadillac may put the 4.5 liter diesel V8 in the CTS, which is very intriguing depending on what kind of mileage the engine gets.

[FAPTurbo]

Hooooooooooot wagon! It's a crying shame they aren't bringing the 2.9L over. As cool as the 4.5 would be, I'd pull for the 2.9, simply because the mileage figures will help get butts in the wagons seats.

What's with the hump in the headliner above the driver's side rear passenger?

[regfootball]

sexy wagon for sure!

[SAmadei]

That picture of the rear seats gives me a claustrophobic chills.

IMHO, for a car to be called a wagon, it needs to have at least three feet of space behind the rear seats.

[Z-06]

I guess they are listening!

[Drew Dowdell]

Look who is posting on there....

Put it in the wagon first, becuse that's what I am going to buy.

[loki]

i think there could be a huge diesel market here if the price of diesel was closer to parity with gas.

edit. I'd love driving this car....just not paying for it upfront.. not yet at least.

My guess would be the electric gate lift actuator motor. I am sure this puppy has an electric lift gate.

[FUTURE_OF_GM]

Damn, that's a nice ass...

I guess GM is shy about bringing diesels here because of the PRICE of diesel.

AFAIK, Duramax sales died this summer when diesel was more expensive than gas.

[regfootball]

gas was 2.66 at the pump today. if gas stays close to that for the next few months, there will be no diesel.

[AAS]

Around here (so cal) diesel is close to, if not slightly cheaper, then 91 octane right now.

[gm4life]

Really diesel is that close? Well GM another reason to bring this sucker over.

[Croc]

Regular and Plus are still generally cheaper. Diesel should be brought over, though, as it is definitely a more efficient fuel. With CA, the main issue would be if the emissions are clean enough, and I know MB tried to make clean enough diesel systems and came up slightly short. VW may have done it, though...I'm not quite sure.

[GMTruckGuy74]

It's nice and all, will be priced WAY OUT of my price range, and if GM wanted to give me the keys to one free of charge I'd gladly accept...

BUT...

I'd still much rather have a Pontiac G8 SportWagon instead

[gm4life]

Yeah a G8 GT Safari would be to my liking also. It is outta of my price range too at this point in my life anyways.

Now that one should definitely have the V-8 diesel.

[ZL-1]

Sweet!...

[pow]

The rear leather looks awfully saggy... everything else I love.

[gm4life]

It does, doesn't it. It is prolly just a pre-production model slapped together for shows and such.
