Leak:2010 Cadillac CTS Wagon

The goodfellas over at Jalopnik have unearthed what appears to be the first image of the the CTS wagon which is set to have its official unveiling at the Paris Motor Show. Additionally the leaked image also contains some details about the first wagon variant in CTS history although we have our reservations on how accurate this information is.style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">According to the leaked image the 3.6L direct-injection V-6 VVT engine used in the sedan will also find its way to the wagon, but the 2.8L V-6 will be replaced with a 3.0 liter version and they will be available with either rear or all-wheel drive. Pricing is reported to start at $37,500 – that's over €5K more than the sedan and will go up to $42,500 for the top of the line mode.

See below for full details from the leaked image.

BMW 6-series with a striking red livery and once again sporting the super

A couple of days a go we presented the extravagantly styled AG Excalibur- a quite unique vehicle created by Lithuanian Audronis Gestautas which amazed us even further when we found the Mercedes CL-class hiding underneath. There were those that liked it, there were those that hated it, but either way it was a car you just couldn't ignore, so we are more than happy to find that Audronis has not limited his skills to just one vehicle.

The latest project pictured here shows a much more modestly styled BMW 6-series with a striking red livery and once again sporting the super-sized 30inch wheels. As you can see this project is instantly recognisable as a 6-series based body kit and one that could possibly satisfy even the most fiercest critic of Audronis.

2010 BMW X1 SUV to be Built in Germany

Unlike the X5 and X6 SUV/Crossovers which are built in BMW’s North American plant in Spartanburg, South Calorina the forthcoming X1 compact SUV that will be based on the 1-Series platform will be assembled at the Bavarian automaker’s Leipzig plant in Germany. The reason is that due to the crisscross currency situation of the past years, BMW wants to move production of specific models to countries where they sell the most, and the X1’s prime market will be Europe.

For the same reason, BMW has already announced that the next generation X3 will not be produced by Magna Steyr in Austria like the current model but in Spartanburg alongside the larger X5 and X5 SUV/Crossovers.

2010 Cadillac CTS Sport Wagon Picture/Info Leak?

We already knew that Cadillac was planning a sporty station-wagon version of the new CTS; we just didn’t know how it would look like. This screen picture that was forwarded to our friends over at Jalopnik allegedly comes from a Harris Opinion Survey about the upcoming CTS Sport Wagon. While we can’t be 100% sure, it does look like it’s the real thing.

Judging from the scans, the CTS Sport Wagon that will compete against the BMW 3-Series Touring and the Audi A4 Avant, looks the part, especially in concern of the rear-end design with the cool back-hugging tail-lamps. Pictures aside, the poll also reveals significant details on the CTS Sport Wagon including the price range ($37,500 to $42,500), the initial engine line-up (260Hp 3.0-liter V6 & 304Hp 3.6-liter V6) and that an all-wheel drive version will be offered. -Continued
