"           Cadillac took the opportunity to unveil the production version of the new CTS Sport Wagon today at the Pebble Beach Concours d&amp;#039;Elegance in Monterey, California \u2014 a fitting venue for its world premier at the arguably most prestigious car show on earth, right along with any number of attractive and unique automobile designs.   Cadillac Design Director Clay Dean&amp;#039;s thoughts on his new wagon: &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...for the record, however, its overall length is only down by about one-third of an inch; wheelbase remains unchanged as well.   Standard highlights to this roomier 5-door CTS include a power-opening liftgate operated via in-vehicle button key fob, 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 5-door 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, signaling that this model will be available in Cadillac markets around the globe.   Power will come from a base 263 horsepower, 3.6-liter V-6 engine with variable valve-timing with Cadillac&amp;#039;s fine direct-injected, 304-bhp 3.6-liter V-6 as an option. Both units 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 (am I alone in thinking it would certainly be nice to have this oil-burner here in the U.S. as an option?).   While EPA fuel mileage figures have yet to be released, Cadillac says that there is essentially no loss in fuel mileage from the sedan version. Additionally, both of the V-6 engines available for the U.S. model can run on less expensive regular unleaded gasoline.   The Cadillac CTS Sport Wagon will be available in the spring of 2009.
