This shot shows a stock CTS.  The B-pillar is the part between the front door and the back door.  Looking through parking lots, on almost every car and most trucks, this is black.  Doesn’t matter brand, color, they are almost all black.  I think the reason for this is to give the impression that the B-pillar is not there at all.

The second shot shows the CTS with a body-colored B-pillar, in this case Platinum.  The point I am trying to make is that I think this may actually look better, and more honest / true to the sedan design.  What do you think?

Early this year the Cadillac Club  of Sweden joined us on Caddyinfo.com as a Cadillac club participant.   The club has a separate subforum on the Caddyinfo forum; the Cadillac Club Sweden subforum.

I think this has worked out very well for everyone.  A lot of the posts in the CCS section are of course in Swedish, but Bengt Olsson from the club acts as a moderator for the club subforum.    The forum allows the club the advantages of a dedicated forum without the overhead and headaches.  Caddyinfo benefits from the Club participating because it brings more Cadillac lovers to our forum.

If your Cadillac club would like a subforum on Caddyinfo.com please feel free to contact me to discuss.

Lately there have been several news / rumor articles on various general car sites that Cadillac may come out with a CTS Coupe V Series model (Likely), or perhaps a CTS Sport Wagon V Series model (unlikely). Certainly it is easy to see that if the new LSA 6.2L Supercharged V8 fits in the CTS-V sedan, the same wonder-powertrain can fit into the CTS Sport Wagon or CTS Coupe.

But the 2009 Cadillac CTS-V is NOT just a CTS with a big engine option.  It has specific suspension components, performance brakes, different hubs and wheels, and a variety of other performance related bits.  Could Cadillac do all in and make a CTS Sport Wagon -V?  Sure.  Does it make sense to do all that engineering work so they can see a few hundred of them?  Nope.

Now, the CTS Coupe V Series may be a different beast, as it may be the PREFERRED platform for the V-series driver.

So I predict that we may see a V-series Coupe, but not a V-series Sport Wagon.  I would be the first one to be happy for Sport Wagon fans if Cadillac does manage to produce a V-series version of every Cadillac model including the Sport Wagon.  But I will be surprised if they do.
