What is wrong with Cadillac in the '90s? The Northstar V8 is an artwork. a 300hp 4.6 V8 in a 1994 Cadillac? Awesome in my opinion.

[TheSmokingTire]

@Acct1941 uninspired design, front wheel drive platforms, rickety build quality, the list goes on.

[TheSmokingTire]

@Acct1941 The decision to run said V8 through a Front wheel drive platform, combined with the awful build quality and flagrant parts-bin cheapness is what I was getting at.

Dude what are those sunglasses? I need a pair for my black on black C5... so CTS-V wagon drivers won't notice me averting my gaze at stoplights.

@worldwidechris they are called Dillon Optics, and you can purchase them through the link on our website. If you use that link, we send you a free TST T-Shirt!

@mike88g1 When I write responses, I take the time to use proper spelling and grammar as a sign of respect to those who I'm speaking to. It's nice when people choose to use the same respect when writing back to me.

@TheSmokingTire This comment should appear on every video on YouTube! Ah well.

@Skateallday1001 only if your trailing the other car, then its bad for your air filter, but nothing too bad.

More Horsepower then a Lamborghini Gallardo, More Torque then a Ferrari Enzo and can pull more lateral G's then Porsche GT3. Its fast, rare, and surprisingly practical and for a place like this, its perfect. Its a Station Wagon...........

PAUSE AND LMAO

0:32 Has more in common with a Holden SS-V wagon, than a corvette.

[thompsonj007]

I wish that I was able to afford that wagon.

[Acct1941]

@TheSmokingTire Yeah, FWD is wrong wheel drive... no matter how many cylindres there are in the engine. There is still a lot of "parts-bin" evidence in Cadillac, but I believe that it is now the product of a bin which contains nicer parts. And thanks for replying, and posting.

[sky95line]

the CTS-V Wagon is beautiful

[Acct1941]

@TheSmokingTire Back in the 90s my parents had a few Cadillacs, and the build quality was excellent. The design... yes, you're right. The 1994-97 STS, however, was a handsome car. As was the 2000+ DTS. The new CTS-V can't say it's the fastest sedan anymore, sadly-- BMW's new M5 (out next year) is a bit faster. GM is going to have to go to work again before Zee Germans beat them to the punch.
