Monterey 2008: 2010 Cadillac CTS Sport Wagon revealed LIVE

Click above for a high-res gallery of the 2010 Cadillac CTS Sport Wagon
Cadillac trotted out the 2010 CTS Sport Wagon here in Monterey and after seeing it in person, we're fans. It's edgy, smooth, finned (the roof rails) and sleek all in the right proportions. And for the States-siders, the 263 hp V6 will allow the wagon to hold its own off the line. While there's plenty of room in the back (note: it is a sport wagon) the car itself is quite compact. A 6'4" colleague couldn't fit in the front seat without bumping his head on the panoramic roof. And for folks at about the 6'0" mark, things get really cozy in the back seat. But you didn't buy a wagon because you wanted a full-sized sedan, did you? If you're in the wagon market, check it out when it comes to a dealer near you.
We've assembled two high-res galleries below and two videos after the jump of Cadillac design and product directors discussing the design of the CTS Sport Wagon.

It looks like the new geegaws on the sides got moved to the hood. Looks better that way, IMHO.
Sadly, the car in this pic is only a concept, as it has no wing mirrors.

Nothing to get too excited about, it's merely the 1999 Cadillac Evoq concept out on display:

Can you believe that car is almost 10 years old now!?

@Eb110
Thanks. I love the missile launcher in the bottom of the grille.

Wow, I love it. Sign me up.
Lots of blind spots though.
However I'm sure I'd come to adapt to those.

I know everybody likes it, but I actually don't, only because I think the front end is a bit gaudy. The CTS-V on the other hand, is pure sex, I think because of it's simplicity and understated aggression. I wonder if Cadillac would put together a CTS-V wagon? I bet that'd be pretty sweet because otherwise, I like the CTS wagon.

Wow is right. It looks so much better out in the open.

No DI V6 in the US?
What's the word Sport mean then?

Who says there's no DI V6?

Article says so:
'And for the States-siders, the 263 hp V6 will allow the wagon to hold its own off the line.'
I just want to hear the article is wrong. I'm prepared to believe it. I want to believe it.

It says, "The standard 3.6L VVT engine that produces 263 horsepower (196 kW) and 253 lb.-ft. of torque (343 Nm) serves as the base engine in North America."
...meaning that the base engine in Europe will surely be smaller than the 3.6L V6, something on the order of the 2.8L V6. I don't see why the top engine would not be available (for a CTS-V Sport Wagon, on the other hand, I won't hold my breath).

The standard engine is the non-DI 3.6, but you can bet your sweaty socks that the DI one will be there. Great motors.

OK, so per the GM press release:
http://media.gm.com/servlet/GatewayServlet?target=http://image.emerald.gm.com/gmnews/viewpressreldetail.do?domain=9&docid=47877
There's no reason to believe that GM won't offer the 3.6DI in the wagon since (IIRC) it's the best seller in the sedan.
