2011 Cadillac CTS-V Wagon is insanely fast

Although the sight of brand new Cadillac rims and flashing logos are certainly iconic enough to make an impression on drivers around the world, it’s hard to think of a Cadillac wagon as a serious speed vehicle. With the CTS-V Wagon, Cadillac has somehow achieved the impossible – or at least the unlikely – with a surprisingly powerful, fierce, and fun wagon.

In a sense, the CTS-V sports its brilliant Cadillac rims like a sports car because it is a sports car. It’s a wagon based on a car design, and that certainly comes out in the styling of the vehicle. The CTS-V looks unique and aggressive for a wagon, but just about right if it’s considered as a car. In fact, the CTS-V doesn’t quite give off that feeling of danger that you’d expect from a car with its power until you look under its hood. It looks luxurious. Its raised tail lights even give off an early Cadillac vibe to some extent, although there’s absolutely no question that this is a modern vehicle.

The power’s the important thing, however. The rear wheel drive vehicle sports a 6.2 liter supercharged V8 and generates a whopping 556 horsepower at 6100 RPM. Combine that with 551 lb-ft of torque at 3800 RPM and you’ve got yourself a true sports wagon. It tops out at around 200 MPH.

The engine is coupled with a six speed manual transmission (automatic transmissions are also available) that feels incredibly natural and responsive. Early reviews say that the CTS-V is an exceptionally smooth and comfortable ride. It has a limited slip differential and a fuel economy of 14/19 MPG. The Cadillac CTS-V will debut in 2011 with prices ranging from $60-65,000, depending on the options.

The Cadillac rims on the CTS-V lend an elegant final touch. While balanced Cadillac rims were of course important with this car, it’s again important to note that the emphasis here is on luxury and good (but not overbearing) looks. Buyers might decide to upgrade the Cadillac rims for better curb appeal. Aftermarket Cadillac rims should work with the CTS-V, and dealers will of course carry factory Cadillac rims as the vehicle grows in popularity. Replica Cadillac rims may also be available.

Apart from the Cadillac rims, the CTS-V looks and feels incredibly impressive and was a really welcome surprise for the V series, which hasn’t quite lived up to the Cadillac name until now. It’s a tough car with unexpected power, which sets it at the top of Cadillac’s lineup for family car buyers who still want a bit of sport.

The War Wagon (DVD) $19.73 Frank Pierce (Bruce Cabot) is a ruthless man bent on manipulating the cattle business towards his own wealth and prosperity. When Taw Jackson (John Wayne), an honest rancher, interferes with his plans, Pierce imprisons him and confiscates his gold-filled land. Escaping the prison, Taw plans a raid on Pierce's heavily guarded pay roll carriage, but not if Pierce has anything to say about it. After assembling a group of misfits and hired guns, Taw runs into serious opposition when he encounters the madcap gunslinger, Lomax (Kirk Douglas). Sent by Pierce to stop the raid, Lomax winds up taking a liking to Taw, and they decide to join forces and stage a raid on Pierce's WAR WAGON.Famous for its fighting scenes between John Wayne and Kirk Douglas, WAR WAGON is quintessential of its genre. WAR WAGONS features astonishing stunts and pyrotechnics. Advanced for its time (it was released in 1969) one would think Kennedy produced it in the mid'70s. The climactic end scene which pits Douglas and Wayne against a Gatling gun has spawned similar scenes in RED DAWN and YOUNG GUNS. WAR WAGON is a modern and triumphant film.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseWidescreen – 2.35Single LayerAudio: Dolby Digital Mono 2.0 – English Dolby Digital Mono 2.0 – Spanish Dolby Digital Mono 2.0 – FrenchAdditional Release Material: Production Notes Talent Biographies Clips Original Theatrical Trailer

The Humboldt Wagon Road (Paperback) $30.89 This book offers readers an opportunity to ride the historic Humboldt Wagon Road from Chico to Susanville through images that have been collected since the 1860s. Many never-before-published photographs and oral histories tell a story of people who established what has been called this "small corner of the West." In the 1850s, John Bidwell, a California pioneer, agriculturist, businessman, and politician, envisioned a freight and passenger route that would connect San Francisco, the Sacramento River, and his newly established community of Chico. He wanted it to cross the mountains to the gold and silver mines in Idaho and Nevada. Bidwell financed, constructed, and opened the road for horses, wagons, stagecoaches, and eventually trucks and automobiles. From the Civil War era until the present, the road has carried everything from lumber to tourists.
