I liked Kate Walsh when she played one of the many girlfriends of Drew Carey on his old sitcom. That aside, I still do not know what to think of a Cadillac wagon. Like a Cadillac SUV, it seems wrong to me, counterintuitive. And how much of a true wagon is it? It looks wagonish. That back corner window seems too short and that makes the whole thing look like a 5 door hatchback or the dreaded "Crossover." type. It's Buick that should be making wagons and leave Caddys to the luxury sedan market, IMHO.
At least they call it a wagon. Not so for Ford and Chrysler. CUVs don't do it for me. So, what was the first sport wagon? My Cougar is a Gran Sport Wagon. That's funny. 88 bhp and it's a Gran Sport! Ford does have a sense of humour.
