Exec Claims A Cadillac CT5 Wagon Is Under 'Active Consideration'
Exec Claims A Cadillac CT5 Wagon Is Under 'Active Consideration'-January 2024

The last time Cadillac did a wagon, it was in 2014 and it had 556 horsepower. That was a long time ago, but the company’s chief engineer has revealed the new may end up with more roof over the trunk, too.

A Cadillac wagon is under active consideration and it’s only because the first one has become so popular, according to an interview with Cadillac’s Brandon Vivian on the podcast, via :

“So I will tell you, I’ve been looking at that many, many, many times,” Vivian said. “We continue to look for opportunities to make money, and I will continue to do that.”

Vivian made a particular point of calling out that the now-discontinued CTS-V Sport Wagon model still serves as a touchstone for some of the brand’s most hard-core fans.

“So, nothing to announce right now, but certainly, when you see the enthusiasm of our customers, and when I’m out there talking to our customers, to our V-Lab — to our V-Club members — there is an absolute fanaticism around the V wagons, and wagons in general. So because of that, we continue to study a future variant.”

The company knows a wagon wouldn’t exactly sell in volume, but it seems like they may only need to make the case that they’ll make some money on whatever wagon is sold, not necessarily that it has to sell like gangbusters.

Considering a low volume is all but inevitable for something like this, it’s likely Caddy would focus on the performance model, which could either be the normal CT5-V with 355 horsepower, or the hot CT5-V Blackwing with much more power.

It’ll be worth it alone to get rid of the CT5's unfortunately black triangle panel on the C-pillar, at least.

A 2JZ-Swapped BMW E30 M3 Is The Car You Need When You Really Need To Show Your Tires Who's Boss
For the average enthusiast an E30 M3 would be a pretty exciting car to drive in stock configuration. It’s a race homologation-special with a high revving engine and sexy 80s box flares, what more could you want? Vidar Jodahl, apparently, wanted quite a lot more. That’s why they built...

You may have thought Travis Kalanick, co-founder of Uber, was done with the company in 2017 when the board forced him to resign as CEO amid a cascading series of scandals, but you’d technically be wrong. He’s been on said board ever since, sticking around just long enough to...

Traffic sucks, so why not start your morning off with some music? You provide the toast and we’ll provide the jams. For some reason, my siblings and I listened to a lot of trucker music as kids. We have no truckers in the family, and both of my parents are...
