Video released this morning. Lieberman is the MT staffer who has the V-Wagon to test for a year. Which one does he think is better? http://www.youtube.com/motortrend

He is saying Cadillac quoted him 447 V Wagons sold over a two year period. I am thinking that that number does not include the fairly large number of V Wagons BUILT (but not sold) and put into the world as press cars. Still, that number is distinctly smaller than I thought it would be, but within the realm of reality. What got me more was the 39 that they needed to sell in order to recoup their engineering investment. Amazing.

So do I and the shifts looked sloppy. I think that a better driver could have evened that up, but I don't see the V Wagon kicking the AMG in that drag race. What is obvious though, is that the AMG is a tub of lard in the twisties.

I'd be willing to bet the production number quoted was all saleable cars built, including media cars and the like.

The business case for the V wagon was definitely made on creating a small number of unique parts to it. All the exterior pieces are common to either the other V's or the standard wagon. The V didn't get a unique rear fascia like it does on the sedan. What parts are actually unique to the V wagon? The back seat might be the only thing?
