"Although Cadillac had previously unveiled its all-new CTS Sport Wagon back in August at the Pebble Beach Concours d&amp;#039;Elegance in Monterey, California, it was unveiled to a truly world audience at the Paris show.   Power will come from a base 263-bhp 3.6-liter V-6 with variable valve-timing, with Cadillac&amp;#039;s excellent direct-injected 304-bhp 3.6-liter V-6 as an option. Both will route power to the rear wheels via a 6-speed automatic transmission; all-wheel drive is available as well. Asian and European markets will get a 250-bhp 2.9-liter turbodiesel, which sure would be nice as an option in the U.S.   While EPA fuel mileage figures have yet to be released, Cadillac says that there is no decrease in fuel mileage from the sedan. Additionally, both of the V-6 engines available for the U.S. model can run on regular unleaded gasoline.   We talked to Cadillac Design Director Clay Dean about what he was trying to achieve with the CTS Sport Wagon. Replied Dean: &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s a taut design that note only suggests sleekness, but delivers it. Indeed, the drama of the sedan is amplified by the CTS Sport Wagon, as the centerline cue that is part of the exterior and interior is more prominent and plays a stronger role in defining the design at the rear of the vehicle. Functionality was certainly a guiding factor during development, but so was the idea to inject emotion into the normally sedate wagon category.&amp;quot;   While many sedans grow longer when they get &amp;quot;wagonized,&amp;quot; this CTS Sport Wagon has actually shrunk. It&amp;#039;s shorter by a third of an inch; the wheelbase remains unchanged.   Highlights include a power-opening liftgate, in-floor stowage in the rear cargo compartment, a very low-profile roof rack with adjustable cross bars, a small, rear roof lip spoiler, 19-in. wheels and a panoramic rear sunroof as an option.   This new wagon will not be a North American-market exclusive, according to Cadillac General Manager Jim Taylor. &amp;quot;This is an important step in Cadillac&amp;#039;s ongoing global expansion, and of course in international markets like Europe, wagons have been and continue to be very significant,&amp;quot; he says. Now we know why the CTS Sport Wagon was at the Paris show...   The Cadillac CTS Sport Wagon will be available in the U.S. by the spring of 2009. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
