[Closed] In 1:1 world Cadillac just revealed its hot new sport wagon!

I can just about laugh seeing that! Why??

YEARS ago we had station wagons, then (GOD only know WHY), the auto industry decided to make Big, obnoxious gas-guzzling SUV's and they caught on. If you look at them, most arent much longer then a passenger car, but they are very tall. Essentially SUVs are/were tall, boxy station wagons! I never cared for them, nor saw any beauty in an SUV as most all of them look like Big Boxes on wheels. Now it seems like we're rediscovering the station wagon! LOL I guess with the $4.00 a gallon gas car makers realized the SUVs are going to die soon so.... Everything Old is NEW again as the saying goes! I remember when Dodge came out with the Magnum about 3-4 years ago. I was talking to a dealer about the 300C and he mentioned a Magnum and I had never heard of it. He said I'd better order the 300c because the supply of Hemis is going to dry up because a lot of people will want them in the Magnum and there will then be a HUGE waiting list for a 300C !! LOLOLOL (YEAH OK). Anyway when I saw the poster of the Magnum as he proudly showed me, I was like "OH it's a station wagon" The salesman then replied "No it's a Magnum" I said "Sir, what do you call that type of car? Its a STATION WAGON no matter how YOU or Dodge wants to market it! Don't tell me a woman that wears a size 20 is SLIM, I wasn't born yesterday! BTW That Caddy is a nice looking wagon

Phil, If I recall correctly, the Dodge Magnum is no longer available begining with the 2009.

Michael, it looks like a winner!

Call me crazy but I like it. I have often wondered why an SUV or X-Over has to be so high.

A station wagon should get better mileage than an SUV just on air resistance alone.

I've had a few station wagon types over the years and always found them a friendly or useful type vehicle.

My '61 Ford Country Squire had that extra seat in the rear which came in handy more than once.

Funny, that Cadillac-16 does absolutely nothing for me but this wagon looks like something I could enjoy.

I like it. It's very nicely styled and looks like a Caddy even from behind. I am so glad to see wagons makeing a comeback. Get rid of the SUV's. I think Dodge is making a mistake in dropping the Magnum.

I like it even though I like them "bigger" !!! Any idea on the $$$ ???

...its actually shorter than the new CTS sedan...

the rear compartment and interior details are world class. As is the modern Direct Injection V6. Hopefully GM will get their turbo diesels ready soon.

Probably same price range as CTS..$29-$48k

The new SRX can be seen on the same site....and next up...

a CTS coupe.

Ronald, MSRP on the current sedan starts at $34,420......

I would suspect wagon MSRP will start just under $40,000.

Michael, I always liked Cadillac interiors. They sure know how to spoil your butt on a long trip.

Too bad American buyers walk right by the American car dealerships on their way to Toyota and Honda without even trying them out to see how much they've improved.

When I think back at recent totally trouble-free American vehicles I've owned they've been doing pretty good for quite a few years.

'84 Mercury Cougar
'87 Buick Riviera
'97 Chevy Malibu 3.1
'97 Chevy S-10 4.3
'04 Ford Ranger 3.0

I wish Americans would at least look at some American iron before sending their money to other countries. They might be surprised.

They sell a Magnum with Chrysler 300 Grill on the european continentant.

It sure looks better than the Magnum front end.

Bravo, Cadillac! Our SUV (Murano) will be ready to trade sometime next year. As much as we like it (frankly, love it), that Caddy might be just the ticket. Cadillac ride and performance with some haulage ability. I like the lines.

Amen
