The CTS-V did this in spades. Now Cadillac wants to add a few more pieces to the puzzle by giving us the CTS-V Coupe and Sports Wagon. Both are fitted with the same rev happy supercharged LSA engine that is in the standard CTS-V, but with some new sheet metal. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ridelust.com\/evil-siblings-the-cadillac-cts-v-coupe-wagon\/ctsvw2\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-42210\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ridelust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/CTSVW2.jpg\" alt=\"CTS-V Sports Wagon\" title=\"CTSVW2\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-42210\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Both are beautiful cars, but I&#8217;m just not sold on the coupe yet. Yes it is beautiful, functional and ungodly fast, but is there really a market for it? The Sports Wagon on the other hand is a pure knockout. I love wagons, always have, always will, in fact the CTS-V is probably the one wagon that I&#8217;d replace my beloved SRT-8 Magnum with. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ridelust.com\/evil-siblings-the-cadillac-cts-v-coupe-wagon\/ctsvw\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-42209\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ridelust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/CTSVW.jpg\" alt=\"CTS-V Sports Wagon\" title=\"CTSVW\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-42209\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The CTS-V Wagon has a subtle look of refinement to it while still having a muscular presence. The extended roof line blends with a very nicely sculpted rear hatch to give the body a soft feel. Most wagon designs are boxy, especially when derived from an existing sedan. The CTS-V however has managed to blend both style, space and a muscular attitude into one complete package.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/x9e4gC9b9sAJmx8sdfGtr9MPRho\/0\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/x9e4gC9b9sAJmx8sdfGtr9MPRho\/0\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/x9e4gC9b9sAJmx8sdfGtr9MPRho\/1\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/x9e4gC9b9sAJmx8sdfGtr9MPRho\/1\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When the new Cadillac CTS-V came out last year with its 558 hp it proceeded to scare the ever-lovin&#8217;-crap out of every four door super sedan on the market.
