2014 Cadillac CTS-V Sport Wagon Review

    As one of my vehicle classes, the all-rounder type car makes a lot of sense when you think of it. For example, the BMW X5 M makes a lot of sense because it performs like a sports car, has the practicality of a SUV, and has the luxury of a BMW. It's the same thing with the Vauxhall VXR8 Maloo, which has the body and practicality of an ute, the performance of a sport sedan, and when you think about it, it makes more sense than buying a pickup truck and a sports car. But one of the most popular (but not in numbers, in grown men's fantasies) all-rounders is the Cadillac CTS-V Sport Wagon. It has the same 556-hp supercharged 6.2 liter V8 as the CTS-V sedan and coupe, and even I (who isn't the biggest Cadillac fan in the world) think it is a wonderful engine. With 551 lb-feet of torque, you won't have any trouble doing 0-60 in 4.1 seconds, which is quite impressive.  Some styling cues that help you tell a CTS-V apart are the new mesh grill, "//V" side logos, and of course, a CTS-V badge on the back. The interior is typical Cadillac, with no knobs, only buttons and sharp edges that could cut you if you tried hard enough. Believe me, I've felt the tail-lights on a XTS, and they were incredibly sharp. I'm surprised they're legal. Same goes with the CTS-V: cool, but hardly legal.
