The CTS-V coupe is easy to like; I have to admit I do too.  The wagon requires a mentally twisted individual.  I just can't get over the fact that it is the baddest mass-produced wagon on the planet.  556 horsies with a 3-pedal 6-speed manual transmission.  Perfection.

don't forget, it has 9 million cubic feet of cargo space...  and it is within 200 pounds of the coupe...  

according to Cadillac:

Coupe : 4209 pounds
Sedan: 4222
Wagon: 4398

Oh nice, the wagon weighs an even two (metric) tonnes.  The extra space is a bonus although in the grand scheme of things, it still feels somewhat tight.  Can't wait till next year or so.
