  • wow, that is alot of hp going to those rear wheels in that D3, if it made that much at the rear wheels ( according to the dyno the found in glovebox) this beast is making round 800 hp at the motor, unbelievable . i love America

  • Who is the Mad Scientist

  • crazy D3

  • -clip wont load- "c'mon, I wanna see this!" -4 mins later- "COME ON!!" -something pops up, but you realise it's an ad- "FUCKKKKKK. Imma skip it." -stops at 0:00 until skip- "FUCK MY LIFE." -you finally skip it- "yeah!" -after 5 mins of waiting, it finally loads- "fuck, I already saw this..." story of my life.
  • This is the most pointless review I've ever seen. Hmmm, whats going to win, the stock car? Or the same car that has more horsepower, more torque and has semi slicks on?

  • thats the sound i would make as a kid when i pretended to be a race car driver!

  • Like skrillex and this car?? haha you gotta check this out then

    /watch?v=Hhb1OYAZdqY

  • oh fuck. the white one is so much better. black only if its matte.

  • wagons = fun family transport..and in this case, ultimate sleeper!!

  • 155000,- euro = 202000 USD that's the price of the Cts-v in the Netherlands with all the

    F#$% !! tax :)

  • 14,000 dollars.. Various modifications, but the one's he lists "reflash, different pulley, exhaust". Shit for $14k I would expect it to at least have a different supercharger.

  • If I had that insane CTS-V wagon, I wouldn't care about the extra power of the D3 knackering the transmission...I'd just want mine to sound like it. It sounds so incredibly aggressive.

  • skip to 1:34 if you dont like listening to bullshit that makes no sense. dont reaaaallly see whats confusing about a 'station wagon' . its a saloon car with a bigger boot.

  • This wagon is for those, who the wife don´t let buy the ZR1, because of the kids and the boot space! Now they can cheat the wife, because it's a wagon...

  • knowing what a crazy machine a CTS-V wagon is already in regular form (if one can call it regular) this D3 package truly must be above and beyond total madness, it is unbelievable how that things just pulls and pulls and pulls away from the "regular" one and has several car lengths on it as it shoots through the finish line. there is a clip on here that shows a CTS-V wagon (stock) beating a Ferrari California in a drag race. i recommend that one too. greetings.

  • still looks like a hearse

  • @jkxjj A Sexy Hearse!!

  • This guy reminds me of Adam on Mythbusters

  • @punchmaster123 was just gonna post the same thing but ill just like this one lol

  • Comment removed

  • @1:54 proof that money doesn't equate to driving skill

  • im sry but 13k for nothing is what i see lol

  • @venuztaurus6ix if you cant afford the extra then dont get it simple! if you can its just that much funner than the regular.

  • @350zdemon no bro imean its decent but im saying..they added 13k of modification for .3 sec 0-60and .5 sec 1/4 would be hard to convince me to buy the modded cadi..its just no enough upgrade performance by farrr...i would rather get the black one and use the 13k on my own behalf is what i meant..these company be ripping people off with these lack of performance for that much price..with our economy in turmoil

  • Mercedes had a station wagon for a long time in the US, but if it's not a Cadillac, it's no good...

    Mercedes had the E55 AMG, E63 AMG and Motortrend didn't "know" that.

    The only cool car is a Cadillac... right.

  • 3.7 sec? The GT-R does it faster with the same amount of horsepower... what's the point of having that many horsepower when you can't put it all on the ground? Seems pointless.

  • Porsche panamera suz

  • d3.......damn

  • why is it 14 grand for a smaller pulley, and exhaust and a tune?

  • Has anyone else notice that car people that like cars under 40 are huge nerds?

  • @seroyer2 has anyone noticed trolls never make sense with their trolling?

  • @XfarglesX that is what makes them trolls.

  • someone overpaid for mods!

    

  • I love blower whine!!!

  • THe point is that this car is a phenomenon, and for just 14k in upgrades, only a small number of production cars in the world can beat you at ANY price.

  • Love the soundtrack of the wagons

  • The most pointless video on youtube

  • 4:13-4:16 sounds like pure sex

  • Retarded..... I need a battle wagon in my life.....!

  • 629 at the wheels = 761 total horsepower

  • Is it just me, or is that slightly shit (11.9 @ 121)

    JHM's 2004 Audi S4 (340 hp stock) with their Vortech Supercharger (making 430 whp/375 whp) ran 11.9 @ 117 mph earlier this year. I'd expect the Cadillac to slaughter that Audi, but really it's a dead heat at the quarter mile with the Cadillac having an MPH advantage.

    Just seems odd...even 121 mph doesn't seem that impressive for 600+whp.

  • @sakimano I agree. Looking at other cars like the MB E55s people that are making around 500whp in a similar weight car are doing 120+ traps on dragtimes.

  • @bt111111111 This CTS-V didn't really put down as good of time with MT as other tuner V's have at tracks. There are a number of YoUTube videos where new Vs run in the 10's and even one in the 9s at like 140 mph...and they aren't THAT much more modified.

  • Why does motortrend always state the obvious by doing pointless tests?

  • That sound is crazy!!!

  • Can the D3 wagon fit three kids in the back? If so I'm sold!

  • @noblinger kids have to drink red bulls and wear unnecessarily expensive and athletic looking cloth before entering into a car..

  • @noblinger 3 Kids and you have 90k to spend?

  • Look at the fucking scuff on those rims at 1:56; clearly this car's had the piss beaten out of it; thats a review car for ya!

  • Kinda funny how on top gear the cts-v wagon was not only faster than the coupe, but it was faster then the sls amg!!

  • holy shit! the car (the exact same car) with more power won the race! you learn something new every day!

  • The sound!!!!

  • 14000 in modifications and it beat the stock car????????....really?

  • who hit the curb??????

  • All I wanted to know was how fast the stock CTS goes. And I still don't know. That really is one terrible piece of ... what, automotive journalism? Get a grip.

  • All I wanted to know was how fast the stock CTS goes. And I still don't know. That really is one terrible piece of ... is it supposed to be, what, automotive journalism. Get a grip.

  • Modified car faster than his stock counterpart?! My mind is full of fuck

  • @InsideTheRage eeep....(-_-'). ROFWLMAO@ your re:. Look bud, lol, I am so sorry. SHOULDA SAID A AWD R/T WITH A 2.3L WHIPPLE WOULDA KILLED THIS THING. thanks for pointing that out. Had know idea I had to point all that out. I keep forgetting I'm retarded. Idc how you feel the truths the truth gm copied the magnum, it has the exact same silhouette. Best sports wagon SINCE the magnum.-ford fanboy.

  • Lol this woulda gotten stomped by the AWD magnum SRT-8...lol congrats gm fan boys you establishments highest order of car just got to where dodge was 6yrs AGO...wasn't gonna state the facts but the white and black car color thing pissed me of then u add in the stock vs mod AND 14g's extra for .6sec, the car is just whack theres no way around it.

  • @Speedmccool385bitch

    But, indulging your fantasy, even if there was an SRT-8 AWD, with 425hp/420ftlbs, the SRT-8 runs a low 13, so unless the PROFESSIONAL (foreshadowing) driver that ran that test was as retarded as you and allowed the tires to spin at the line for OVER a full second, then having AWD wouldn't really make much of a difference now, would it.

    God, it's a good thing ignorance isn't fully contagious.

  • @Speedmccool385bitch It cracks me up that you use the term "fanboy" with disdain when you clearly represent bias, either for the male sheep (maybe you like it that way, I'm not judging), or against the bow-tie.

    In any case, you are one misinformed moron...only the SXT (not really even worth mentioning) and the R/T came with AWD (SRT-8 didn't) and the R/T AWD's vaginally-comparible 340hp/390ftlb only allowed for a mid-14 second 1/4 mile.

  • hey I saw the Cadillac CTS AMG wagon go up against the E63-V

    cant? beat? the veyron

  • white shit vs black shit... white shit wins! yey!

  • Awesome but still way too heavy :/

  • who is the fat wolverine with the overbite?

  • 1:55 someone cant drive i see curb rash !!!!

  • @cerwinvegafan is beist number 1!

  • @St3v3n001 WHY YOU GOTTA MAKA ME DO DIS?

  • @cerwinvegafan I GOTTA CURB RASH LIKE DIS!

  • hey I saw the Cadillac CTS AMG wagon go up against the E63-V

    cant beat the veyron

    its funny how people say the 458 is faster than the Audi R8 V12. Last time I saw a ferrari 599 beat a GT-R M series.

  • Wagons are for people who haven't given up, who have had kids but decided they aren't going to just join the soccer mom/dad club.. They're the efficient alternative to SUVs and the cool alternative to minivans. And the only choice for having a highly practical but still fun vehicle.

  • If it hadn't had those tires it would have been close.

  • @elbertaff He is stating rwhp

  • dat sound

  • just 14 grand for .6 seconds...HAHAHA, I'm good with the stock one

  • if i had the coupe or the sadan i would be pissed!

  • Comment removed

  • You first say D3 claims its 675hp/675tq, but then go on to say it has 629hp/659tq. You said it in a way that makes it sound like its MORE than they claim, but the numbers are lower. Did you mean 729 and 759?

  • @schulzbrianr They said it makes 675hp and 675tq (at the crank I'm assuming), they then say that is a lie because the dyno chart says 629rwhp and 659 rwtq. Horsepower and torque is lost through the drive train. People typically estimate about 15% is lost. Once you convert the rwhp and rwtq numbers to account for this, you get about 740 hp and 775 tq. Even if the drivetrain is quite efficient in this car, 10% loss for example, its still putting out about 700hp and 730tq.

  • God that D3 sounds MEAN!

  • when are we getting these in Aus ???

  • Already curb-checked? Who have they got driving these cars?

  • Orgazmic blower sound !!!

  • 1:58 , yea it does have those black wheels.... but they are curbed :\

  • my eyes are literally watering watching this

  • honey.... get off the pills

  • @qaxwell lmao perrfect excuse to get one of those bad boys

  • @qaxwell LOL. We can sure enjoy wagons again with the kids Uh?

  • Still can beat the sound of the 6.2 in the VXR8 Bathurst.

  • it's like a watching a fly fight it way against a spider web. not fair

  • i prefer the rs6 mtm :D

  • station wagons used to be as uncool as that beard an those glasses.... he's the nerd from mythbusters gearhead nephew...

  • I need one of those!!!!!! V8 550+ HP RWD 6MT what else do you need !!!! (And that's why i love GM)

  • ITS ON DRAG RADIALS OF COURSE IT DIDNT SPIN!! lol this is stupid test, check out the henessey motor CTS-V Wagon it will stomp out the d3? whoever makes that.

  • All I know is who ever drives the black wagon cant drive for shit those rims are all messed up.

  • Shit im 28 and id drive one. Give me a break. This will smoke mustangs, corvettes and most other cars on the road. Plus I have 2 dogs so the CTS-V Wagon would be a welcome car to drive. But I do agree, the only people that buy these are too old to know how to drive one. Only guys who buy these need Viagra and play golf 6 days a week.

    Unfortunately the Oldies who drive these fart dust and should be allowed in a car. I would whip that bitch like no one else.

  • wave goodbye to the panemara in ur rear view

  • wow a turbocharged station wagon, who cares? the people who buy these cars, do 25 in a 50 anyway... plus u would never take this car to the track...so whats the point of this vid...motor trend's quality of videos is really going down,...whats next review old vs new pruis..lol

  • I'd still take a Volvo Wagon from the 90s as a kid.. goddamn the back was wonderful

  • this guy talking that wagons were crap, maybe is the case in america, but audi has been making cool kick-ass wagons since the 90s.

  • si le pone en su madre al panamera...

  • Damn bad ass wagon! First the zr1 kicks the Europeans asses now a wagon Lmfao!

  • put the CTS-V Wagon against the audi RS6 avant!!!!

  • @andrerumistein

    What's the point? They don't compete, sadly the Avant isn't sold in North America.

  • @LamboGallardo560 why do you think I care about if a car is or is not sold in North America?

  • This is the coolest wagon on earth!

  • I donut like wagons but dame they are nice and fast as hell.Now that is a sleeper.

  • soo...what the fuck was the point if this?

  • @dasfurian advertisement?!

    

  • @dasfurian Entertainment

  • @dasfurian Black vs White been like this since the beginning of time

  • It's sport wagon not station wagon. Station wagons have faux wood siding.

  • it's still a piece of shit.... german cars ftw !

  • The Cadillac V WAGON (stock)?? The best sport wagon in the world in my opinion... then w/ fourteenK u can improve it tooo muchh and the racing design is absolutly amazing. I <3 IT.

  • Not much of a Cadi fan, But i love the sound of it

  • Why would you highlight curb rash?

  • I don't see a loser here. Either one is a winner. One just takes a little longer to win.

  • give me 14 grand for upgrades and my 06 mustang would stomp both of them

  • @filthyj24 But then you're still left with an 06 Mustang :)

  • @wfofromthegetgo And I'm 100% ok with that

  • @filthyj24 ...and you'd be left with what? Apples to Oranges. Try fitting an entire family PLUS groceries in your Mustang comfortably while going that quick STOCK.

  • @DeftonesFan867 Well..seeing as my "entire family" consists of me and my daughter I think I'm ok for now. And as for groceries go the trunk is surprisingly roomy, suits my needs just fine. And the point of my original comment was to imply that with $14,000 dollars I could have a much faster and (IMO) better looking car. Granted, stock for stock this is definitely faster than my car but as you said..Apples to oranges. To each their own. Buy your car, drive it, love it..I do!

  • If you value your time skip to 4:00 !

  • Kind of cool. To me they should have just tested the stock one though. $14,000 in upgrades would hopefully make any car quite a bit faster.

  • As if wagons aren't ugly enough as it is... you didn't even wash them before making a video that thousands of people would watch

  • This is a great video showing how 14k of upgrades improves straight line performance.

  • pointless video IMO, I think it's a bit obvious that a tuned version of the same car would win...

  • i would so rock one of these lol awesome

  • Why is it so daym dirty?

  • The white one sounds like a jet.

  • I would take the $14,000 and spend it on a Canon EF 800mm f/5.6L IS USM Telephoto Lens . . . . I mean, how much faster do I need to get there?

  • k cool

  • Pretty bad ass sound! Hmmm by the looks of the wheels they look a bit like hsv wheels.

  • CRUB RASH....LOL

  • I see that the wheel has already been ground up against a curb.

  • "It has 3 pedals" I was like: wait, what?! oh yeah... USA....

  • Comment removed

  • I'm sensing some racial undertones here. The only reason given as to why the D3 wagon is "good" as opposed to the "evil" black 2012 wagon is because it's white...

  • I drive a 2002 VW Passat W8, she has only got 100k and runs smoothly. However, whenever that car is done this is my next purchase

  • 14k? LOL. A new pulley, re-flash and rubber would run you around 2k and you can do this yourself. What a waste of many and a waste of a comparison.

  • The guy with the alpinestars hat is horrible and should stop doing car reviews.

  • Than's a nicely thought out, nicely executed video, good job!

  • It's funny how every time a new, fast American car comes out, some tuner whether it's henessy or shelby or callaway or what have you, comes along and turns something quick and slightly ridiculous into something astronomically powerful and absolutely ridiculous.

  • good sound!!

    

  • Never thought a Caddie could sound soooooo sexxy!!

  • @2:02...that's one of the best sounding burnouts....almost sound like a nascar.

  • whys black gotta be evil? huh?!

  • finally! D3 is getting some notice that really counts!!! i love my D3 sts-v <3

  • That's a 63k sleeper... I would love to catch one of those 911's on the parkway......Lmfao

  • That's not my grandmas old caddy .....sweet

  • Cadillac... where were you guys in the 90s?

  • They should bottle that sound

  • This was a terrible review.

  • That thing screams!!!

  • snd the D3 hp and torque ratings arent lying, the are just the numbers from the crank, 629 was the numbers from the rear wheel

  • could of atleast cleaned the wagon

  • I'd prefer that black bitch right there >:D

  • I really don't like this guy...

  • someone explain to me why comments to any video about cars always devolve into the same stupid ZR1 and GTR circle-jerk? Get a life people. That said, these are some station wagons I definitely wouldn't be ashamed to drive.

  • why does the black one have to evil? tsk tsk

  • #lol im awesome

    

  • Obviously in a drag more horsepower is going to dominate! This is a pointless video

  • @FinalBoss210 Not necessarily. It's more about torque numbers (acceleration) and tire compound (grip), isn't it?

  • These are just VE SS Wagons

  • @bnz500 No they aren't, everything from the bare frame of the car to the engines are different.
