Note the large perpendicular taillights. Up to $6,000 Cash Rebate on 201 with every New or Used vehicle purchase $ Net Book Computer Stand out in a crowd with the CTS Sports Wagon Continued from page 16 Thanks to the high shoulder line of the door, the driver is placed down and into the middle of the instruments and controls which is one of the reasons why European sports sedans and wagons are so much fun to drive. My tester came equipped with a nifty monitor of the optional GPS navigation system that normal stows behind the upper section of the centre stack. Press the "up" button and it glides into place. It also doubles as the screen for the backup camera. Cadillac offers owners a choice of six leather colours. My tester has the "Cashmere" hue that was matched by saddle beige interior trim along with wood inserts on the dash and all four door panels with wood used for the upper rim of the steering wheel. One of the cool features is the standard Memory/Personalization Package. Not only does it remember the setting for the position of the driver's seat in each of the two keys, it also remembers the seat exit position, exterior mirrors settings, climate control settings and radio station pre-sets. But wait, there's more. This feature also allows the driver to program his/her name, the twilight Sentinel delay, remote activation verification, perimeter lighting, auto door lock mode, delaying door locking, passenger window lock out and chime volume. One of my journeys took me to Mosport Racetrack for an event to raise funds for the Canadian Motorsport Hall of Fame. I took back roads all the way that roll and wind through long stretches of wheat and cornfields and, thankfully, devoid of traffic. The body of the Sport Wagon rides low and I feared damaging the front fascia on potholes but the suspension took care of everything and I can tell you that I was really moving. 500 Trade in Bonus PLUS top dolla 1% Lease and finance rate reduction on your next VIP CASH INCENTIVES INCLUDE: 2010 Odysseys up to $6,000 OFF! 2010 Pilots up to $5,000 OFF! 2010 Accords up to $2,500 OFF! 2010 Hybrid Insight up to $4,000 OFF!

With the back split/fold seat up there is 720 litres (25.4 cu ft) of cargo space in the Sport Wagon, double that of the CTS sedan. With the rear seats flat, that more than doubles again to 1,643 litres (58 cu ft). Most owners will never be racing their Sport Wagons on the track, although I am sure the 3.6 AWD would be surprisingly competent. Where this vehicle will live is on the highways or suburban streets where comfortable, long-legged cruising and ease of operation is what the owner needs and wants. And if you want, it can tow up to 1,000 lb (454 kg). This wagon really stands out in a crowd which is what I would want in a premium automobile costing more than sixty grand. And, with almost 1,700 litres of cargo capacity, it makes for the kind of useful utility you just can't get with a sedan no matter how sporting.
