But when they got to the showroom and saw the bigger <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/model\/srx\">SRX<\/a> crossover cost $6,000 less,  the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2009\/09\/03\/review-2010-cadillac-cts-sportwagon-eats-up-cargo-the-open-roa\/\">Sport Wagon<\/a> fell off the charts. So Cadillac has dropped the price of the Sport Wagon by about $1,300 in a bid to give the CTS hauler more of a chance on the sales floor. <\/p>\n<p>Now the CTS Sport Wagon starts at $38,265, while the SRX is $33,330. Before the price drop, the wagon was above the $40K mark, which added that psychological barrier to the sheer dollar amount. Load up either an  SRX or a CTS wagon and you&#8217;ll end up around $50K. <\/p>\n<p>Now, is that initial $5,000 difference still too big, or is it close enough now to keep people&#8217;s eyes on the Sport Wagon prize. Car shoppers have embraced crossovers in general. As such, even with the price changes, the SRX probably doesn&#8217;t need to sweat having sales poached by the CTS Sport Wagon. The former has mainstream appeal, and the latter remains a niche product. <\/p>\n<p>[Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/content.usatoday.com\/communities\/driveon\/post\/2010\/01\/cadillac-cuts-price-on-cts-sport-wagon-to-avoid-conflict-with-caddys-srx-crossover\/1\">USA Today<\/a>]<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2010\/01\/24\/report-cadillac-lowers-price-on-cts-sport-wagon-to-give-it-more\/\">Report: Cadillac lowers price on CTS Sport Wagon to give it more breathing room from SRX<\/a> originally appeared on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\">Autoblog<\/a> on Sun, 24 Jan 2010 16:50:00 EST.
