No wonder they are in the situation they are in. The vehicle in question is the new CTS Wagon they are going to release.

Who was their target audience and who designed this thing? Very bad taste in my opinion. I've been waiting for Cadillac to at least attempt a release of a pickup but a wagon. Most people I see get wagon are sometimes young people my age but they aren't going to pay almost $36K for one. Are you serious. I'm just wondering what options I'm going to have once I get old. I can't see myself in anything else, but it's pretty obvious that they are losing focus with the consumer. It's only a matter of time before we have to turn to something else because of things like this. I guess I will have to just hold onto my DTS til the wheels fall off to have some sort of remnant of what Caddy you used to be.

As you can see from ,y age...we are (obviously) from two different generations

I have seen a couple of pics of the new wagon... I didn't think it was too bad at all.

I don't think it will have the comfort and front seat room I will be looking for.. but that is a different story all together.
I will be looking for a BIG car, and it is looking more and more like I will be out of luck, unless I buy one of the last of the big DTS's and then just plan on keeping it for a really long time.
