I dunno -- to everybody bitching about the rear pillar: Imagine it with a huge Hoffmeister Kink... I thought so.
I think that the CTS Wagon is wonderful. I like the brash styling. I'm so bored with look-alike vehicles and the Art and Science is a nice alternative to both bland and Bangled vehicles. But I think that there's a question of appropriate utility that the CTS wagon addresses. First, every once in a while I need to carry something that just won't fit in a trunk. Even though our current CTS has fold-down rear seats, we just don't have enough utility. However, there's no way I want to sacrifice the sedan virtues to get too much utility as offered by SUVs, minivans or crossovers. I think the CTS wagon hits this sweet spot just right. Add in the the fact that it will be available with a manual (!) and there's a lot to like here.
Bloody awful - an insult to the sight!
THAT IS SLICK!!! Best looking GM product in a while. Unfortunately it belongs to a tax bracket that I don't. Maybe I'll see it on the used market in a few years. Wait - how bad is the fuel mileage? I don't buy is the mileage is worse than my ten year old CR-V. Won't go backwards - no way.
