Lutz Confirms Cadillac CTS-V Coupe Is Coming Sport Wagon...Doubtful

During a Web-chat held on General Motors' FastLane blog, GM's former product head and newly appointed Vice Chairman, Bob Lutz, sat down with the unwashed throngs to take questions and a deliver a few tender morsels to the product obsessed.

Chief among them was Lutz' confirmation that a Cadillac CTS-V coupe is on the way. "As of now," Lutz told the assembled Netizens, "the V package is planned only for the sedan and coupe." As for more CTS-V models – specifically a Sport Wagon variant – Lutz said, "... should sufficient demand materialize, there is no reason why we couldn't do a V-Series wagon, and I would be standing in line for one, just ahead of you." That doesn't sound encouraging, but at least it's on the table.

Lutz also discussed the possibility of the Pontiac G8 being branded as the Caprice and said, "...we're studying the feasibility of bringing it in as a Caprice for both law enforcement and the public."

I thought the CTS-V coupe was already a go.Bringing the G8 under a different name is a good idea.Making it into patrol cars is dumb. I barely see people driving Impalas because everyone knows in NY its a DT or Narcs car.Same with Crown victorias.

No point in a wagon V - cool as it may be, it just would not sell. Low volume is one thing, but this would be another. Money would be better spent elsewhere - like getting the STS/DTS successor right.

Agreed. The STS/DTS replacement(s) have to be flawless. There can't be any questions about their designs.

Why does a lot of people expect a great amount of things from GM. All they do is disappoint.
