執行緒： 快速磁碟機： 2011年凱迪拉克 CTS-V 馬車

幾個小時我將鑰匙交給我了已經開了一周的 2011年凱迪拉克 CTS-V 馬車後，我收到一位銷售人員在當地的凱迪拉克轉銷商問是否仍有沒有車的打個電話。

她是第三個銷售人員問是否他們可以炫耀車向潛在的客戶。我得以與兩個較早請求和第一個客戶坐在車裡訂了一個在現場，迫使他寶馬 335 馬車的交易。第二個潛在擁有者期待他道奇 Magnum SRT8 貿易。

在我多年的借款為審查車這是一個獲得這麼多利息從轉銷商的第一次。

作為 2011 CTS-V 雙馬車不是令人驚訝是聳人聽聞的。它具有出色的性能，由於其增壓 556 真正的愛好者車必和必拓 6。2 升 V8 發動機與 551 磅-英尺的扭矩。 傳動系統是相同的在 CTS-V 轎車和轎跑車。我個人認為車裡比其他兩個 CTS-V 模型之一遠更有吸引力，是更為實際，因為它有 25 立方英尺的儲物空間，在地方和 58 立方英尺的後排座椅折疊下來時。

CTS-V 馬車喧鬧從一開始，當你把腳放氣。我有幾次打了馮力矩限制器和它有那麼自由地發動機轉速這麼多扭矩可以加速到高速公路和 shift 鍵直接從第二到第六不會有任何問題。總體而言，我錄得 16。4 mpg 和巡航速度 75-80 英里/小時上一次旅行到拉斯維加斯的同時實現最佳的油箱加滿了 18 mpg。不壞考慮的樂趣之一量可以有這輛車。

一切情況都考慮的 $63,465，其中包括荒唐可笑 $1300 37mph，貼紙價格是相對合理的。我也借來的車了 Recaro 高性能席位 (3400 元)、 杜拜木修剪包，紅色淡色漆和涵蓋的麂皮絨方向盤和移位器旋鈕。

毫無疑問，CTS-V 馬車的最令人印象深刻方面是六速手動變速器的可用性。誰敢建議凱迪拉克會有這樣一輛車在其陣容。特別是因為其他的公司，包括作為寶馬和保時捷這種愛好者使紛紛回避手動變速箱在許多他們的高性能汽車。凱迪拉克是逆勢，賺取應得的讚揚，並顯然銷售，在我家鄉的 15 萬人中至少三人從車裡的興趣來看。

A couple of hours after I handed over the keys to the 2011 Cadillac CTS-V Wagon I had been driving for a week, I received a phone call from a salesperson at the local Cadillac dealer asking if I still had the car.

She was the third salesperson to ask if they could show off the car to prospective customers. I was able to oblige with two earlier requests and the first customer to ride in the car ordered one on the spot, trading in his BMW 335 Wagon. The second potential owner was looking to trade in his Dodge Magnum SRT8.

In all my years of borrowing cars for review this is the first time one has garnered so much interest from a dealer.

Its not surprising as the 2011 CTS-V Wagon is sensational. Its a true enthusiasts car that delivers great performance thanks to its supercharged 556 bhp 6. 2-liter V8 engine with 551 lb-ft of torque. The drive train is identical to that in the CTS-V sedan and Coupe. Personally I think the Wagon is far more attractive than either of the other two CTS-V models and is far more practical as it has 25 cu ft of storage space with the rear seats in place and 58 cu ft when they are folded down.

The CTS-V Wagon romps away from a start when you put your foot on the gas. The engine revs so freely that I hit the rev limiter a few times and it has so much torque that you can accelerate onto a freeway and shift straight from second to sixth without any problem. Overall, I recorded 16. 4 mpg and achieved a best tank full of 18 mpg while cruising at 75-80 mph on a trip to Las Vegas. Not bad considering the amount of fun one can have in this car.

All things considered the sticker price of $63,465, including the ludicrous $1300 gas-guzzler tax, is relatively reasonable. The car I borrowed also had Recaro High Performance seats ($3400), Sapele wood trim package, red tint coat paint and a suede covered steering wheel and shifter knob.

Undoubtedly, the most impressive aspect of the CTS-V Wagon is the availability of a six-speed manual transmission. Who would have even dared suggest Cadillac would have a car like this in its lineup. Especially since other companies, including such enthusiast makes as BMW and Porsche are eschewing manual transmissions in many of their high performance cars. Cadillac is bucking the trend and earning deserved praise, and apparently sales, judging by the interest in the car from at least three people in my home town of 150,000 people.
