You can see why it never sold well in Europe it doesn't look European and it's quite an environmental continent as well as high fuel prices meaning it was never going to do well.
Description: The wagon was originally launched in order to help the CTS better appeal to European buyers, where wagons remain popular. Americans, however, long ago dismissed wagons as being, for lack of a better t...

Wagons and hatchbacks are pretty awesome. It would be pretty cool if every sedan had a hatch or wagon variant.
Yeah a Wagon seems much more practical than a gas hog SUV or mini van. Not that I have anything against them, just like the Wagon!
"Americans dismiss wagons as being uncool" - well Americans are wrong. Wagons are so much better than stupid SUVs and crossovers. Yes, I'm a wagon driver.
I saw one of these the other day, that paint is nuts - super metallic - in a good way. The black with yellow calipers is bad ass.
Such a badass car. All that power and handling while having your Labrador riding in the back looking at the Mustang you just smoked through the rear window.
This is a bummer, the wagon offers versatility and is still is fun to drive (unlike the SUV's you see on their roofs along the highway). Maybe this will raise our resale value...
That's the problem. SUVs killed off the station wagon. They have all the versatility of wagon with the "oooo look at me in my big SUV" that soccer moms love. In Europe SUVs aren't that popular and that's why wagons are still around there.
Yeah, stationwagons were THE thing before suv's :/
@ drew. Wagons aren't American? Did you forget the 60s and 70s when every family had one before SUVs became popular?
No! This is the best one!
They only needed to sell 38 to break even.
I disagree Drew. For this specific competitor, only the Merc AMG wagon would be a threat. BMW or Volvo don't make a wagon that holds a candle to the V Wagon.
Wagons / "estate cars" are not meant IMO to be American in nationality. Leave them to the Europeans, they take the market much better. Now that's not to say this Caddilac wasn't a good car -it was - it's just the Mercedes/BMW/Volvo wagons were better
I love wagons, past 6 or so cars have been them for me. Honestly if I had the money, this wouldn't be in my top three choices. With so many other companies dropping wagons, GM should have held out...
Nooooooo! My auto teacher had a black one and the wagon was by far my favorite variant of the cts v
I am kinda sad that their killing this off. There are a few by me driven by women, so they are not unpopular by me, at least. Hopefully,they will roll out the ATS-V soon...or even better...an XTS-V
if I could get an old nomad or magnum I would be happy...those are two great looking wagons..this not so much
There are a few rich Indians with them where I live.
I have seen a CTS wagon but not a V wagon yet. I wanna get my hands on one
Matt, they are pretty rare here too. I have only seen a couple where I live
Rumor has it that there will be a Chevy SS ute, since there already is a commodore ss ute. Which would be amazing
I must say, I wasn't expecting this, but it's not surprising. I've only ever seen one wagon up in Canada, idk how often u guys see em in the us, but they're very rare here
I don't really like the wagon body style... but the CTS-V was a damn legit car!
Interesting. I just searched through Car and Driver's blog which is where this article is based off of, and I cannot find a reference to Cadillac killing off the CTS wagon. How about a link to the exact page on Car and Driver's web site?
The V wagon
My mom is getting one of these
I think the study was GM only needed to sell like 300 a year? I wished I had the money to buy one. I preferred these over the coupe/sedan. Maybe GM will bring it back with the Chevy SS or whatever they'll call it.
Man I've always kinda liked them. I think they're sweet, just like the Magnum SRT8.
I remember reading somewhere that GM said the Wagon was always an experiment and they didn't need to sell many to make a profit. Such a shame it's gone now. I've daydreamed a lot about owning a manual CTS-V wagon and beating muscle cars in a race.
You're part of the problem Tim! Naw just kidding.
Well crap. I really liked the CTS-V wagon.
As much as I love Cadillacs, I'm not all that upset by this. I just don't really care for wagons...
Oh my gawd now I definitely want one.
Now I'm never gonna have one.
More for gearheads to fight over. They will become highly sought after now.
