OK, I like it. And I love Cadillac returning to a world-class car brand.

I love that you can buy a Cadillac with a 3-pedal manual. How cool is that?

There is a cinnamon-red CTS-V wagon in pristine condition on a dealer used lot I drive past every day. If I was even remotely shopping for a used car I'd be looking at that in a big way, instead of just wondering if test driving it would be worth spending 3 weeks getting rid of the sales person afterwards.

In reply to Duke:

The answer is a resounding YES.

Meh, the CTS-V is still the one for me, that's too Lincoln-y. If I ever win the lottery...Hennessey Battle Wagon! Shove that Italian and German garbage in your ear, I want the 700 horsepower RWD station wagon.

I love Caddy's new sedans, I really do. Like others have said, my dream would be a CTS-V wagon. But I still have these images of Cadillac in my head, which drive me nuts... The station wagon on stilts:

Or worst of all....

Just give them a fake cell phone number.

Enjoy your test drive.

XTS looks phenomenal. Bravo, Caddy designers. Beautiful, relevant work.

That said, I too would take the CTS-V wagon out of all of them. That thing just rules.

The XTS looks very nice. I like how the headlights don't go halfway back to the A pillar which seems so common on most new cars.

Twin_cam is right, there is a weird Lincoln-like something about it. Still nice though.

Sure looks like they go at least 1/3 of the way to the A pillar to me. There's things about the design I like and things I dislike, but it won't be mistaken for anything else but a Caddy (if you can ignore the Lincoln grille )
