Just picked up a '11 CTS-V Wagon I wanted to say hi to the CTS-V crowd.
All I can say is WOW!!! I sold my low mileage '08 AO Z06 for this. Sadly, a new addition to the family brought this on. The wife said, "If we are getting rid of the Z, it will be for a V Wagon...only!" I love my wife. But, after driving this beast, I don't miss the Z one bit. GM finally got it right.
I actually enjoy the driving experiance again (with the whole family).
Oh yea....I test drove the Auto and manual versions...Manual is the way to go.

Congrats!!! Good choice. I'm not much for wagons but I'd definitely drive a CTS V wagon. I saw a D3 CTS V wagon at SEMA, it was pretty badass.

Thanks everyone! I think it's quite the baby hauler.
First off, NO, I plan on keeping this one. Yes, we went with the Recaro option. The regular seats are nice, but the Recaros are just awesome! I also went with no Ultra-view roof. The last thing I wanted was a giant whole in the roof of sport wagon.
We also opted for the lighter interior. I'm usually not a fan of the lighter interior, but it just looks really classy on the V.
Thank you for the invite. I'll check it out.
I'll get a few more pictures of the interior as well as exterior when it's light out.

Thanks again for all of the compliments. Over the last few days, I've gotten a lot of confused looks. People don't know what to make of it. But after a few days, this thing just keeps getting better and better! I LOVE IT!!!
I added tint all around. So much better.
I always get the windshield done also. You can barely see in it.
Couple of interior shots.
My goal is to hold off on a CAI, pulley, and tune until the beginning of the year, but it's going to be hard.
