Any other CTS-V wagon owners out there?

[Buster]

I know there aren't that many in town, but it would be interesting to see how many around here have one also.

I haven't actually seen another one on the road in Calgary.

I guess I should add a pic, or whatever.

Sweet ride! I love the Wagon. Probably not many in town I would guess.

[Revhard]

I love these things too. Sooo want one for the family ride!!!

Awesome car!
Got any plans for it?

[Buster]

I know there are at least 1 or 2 other ones. It's a good family mobile. I've got 2 young kids, and its workable for that. I'm coming from a 535 wagon, and it's a slightly smaller vehicle, and the trunk is substantially smaller than the BMW. But overall, very adequate.

We will likely be getting a full-sized SUV when we upgrade our other car in the next couple of years...and make the V the backup family hauler instead of the primary.

Not really. I'm kindof a stock guy. Got the modding bug outta me when I was a lot younger. One of the appealing things about the V wagon, is it doesn't really need much. It already looks aggressive (in a stock way), and while getting to 650- 700 hp is cheap and easy, I'm pretty satisfied with the current power. I'm already very traction limited at anything resembling city driving speeds...especially on these winter tires.

I was so close to buying a Wagon down in Arizona last summer. In the end my wife won with us buying a holiday trailer and home reno`s. Such an awesome car in every way. Car and Driver's long term test concluded that it was their favorite car of all time, quite the complement from such BMW/Import faithful. Might look into a V this year again, biggest problem is deciding between the Coupe or wagon.

That was an easy decision for me, obviously. But I genuinely prefer the look of the wagon to the coupe and the sedan. I had been looking at 911's and Vettes to add a little fun to things...but in the end I decided I decided I didn't want the hassle of an extra car...and the V does everything so well.

The cts-v is basically a luxury z06, luxury and speed. Best of both worlds.

Such a nice car man

The coupe never tickled my fancy in pictures, quite the different story to see one in person. A guy down the road from me has one and it looks amazing in real life. I'd like to have both coupe and wagon

It's a great car, and I love the looks. Gotta be a V, tho...for the bigger wheels in the rear quarter panels.

Going back to a GM product after my stint with BMW, I do have to chuckle at the rattles and such in the interior. BMW bolts together their interiors really well. Cadillac? Not so much...

But I can live with it. More of a quirk than a complaint.

Thanks!

(Although technically, it's more closely related to a de-tuned ZR1 from a drive-train perspective, since it has the 6.2l block, with a blower. Smaller blower and less exotic valves, etc).

First of all, man points to you for driving that beast in the winter!!

OP, sick ride. I have a soft spot for fellow LS powered vehicles and those wagons look mean!!

Were you on Elbow Drive last night at around ~ 8 p.m. ish? I saw one ahead of me , I tried to catch up but not at those speeds

[Twin_Cam_Turbo]

There are very few of these in Calgary, I don't think we have even delivered one at work we sell a lot more sedans and coupes!

That wasn't me! Are you sure it was a V? I do see black non-V wagons around from time to time.

I know a couple of guys recommend the service department at GSL over the other shops. I have taken previous Cadillacs to Carter's and have had good service there, too...but heard a couple of nasty stories. You never know what to believe.

Maybe I will take the car to GSL next time to see how it goes.
