(upbeat music) <v Announcer>Cars.com auto review. Hi, I'm Joe Wiesenfelder with Cars.com.
If you're looking for proof that General Motors can make a world-class car, people in the know tend to list the fab five, a couple of Chevys and a couple of Buicks, but at the top of that list, usually this right here, the Cadillac CTS. Now I happen to agree it's a fabulous car with the exception of some really disappointing reliability ratings these days. They need to fix that, but regardless, they're expanding the model line. Now there's a wagon called the 2010 CTS Sport Wagon. Now, like the front of the sedan and the wagon, the rear end is kind of polarizing in its styling. I kinda like it. The stylish shape here has a usual drawback, which is it tends to cut down on cargo space as opposed to more of a bulbous rear end. But I gotta say, it's still almost double the cargo volume of the trunk in the CTS sedan. It's about 25 cubic feet. Now there are a couple of handy tricks here for storing cargo. You've got these D-rings that are repositionable, kind of nice, and a cargo organizer they call it. Just by moving this to a couple of different positions, you can contain your groceries and stuff like that. And there's a little bit more space in front of there. And you've seen 'em before, retractable cargo shade. Now with the seats folded, the cargo volume increases, actually more than doubles, to 58 cubic feet. Now that's actually just three cubic feet shy of the Cadillac SRX crossover. Not bad. Now if you've never shopped a European wagon before, you probably haven't seen something like this. It's a different kind of cargo net. Now the net can be installed in two positions, either right above the backseat backrest, or it can span the area right behind the front seats. The idea is to hold cargo or even pets. I don't know if this is enough to stop your dogs, but I know some dogs going right through there. Now, if you like what you see, the Sport Wagon starts about $3,000 more than the sedan. Base model just under $40,000. You can get rear-wheel drive, all-wheel drive, and really you can get the full details on this on my review at Cars.com, but in general, if you're not spooked by the reliability issue, I think it really is a world-class vehicle. <v Announcer>For more car related news, go to Cars.com or our blog KickingTires.net.
