that's the 'new' gm's way of saving money on PR and trying to be 'hip' as well.

GM's going with smaller cars. And crossovers/wagons instead of SUVs.

It's necessary. They needed it a long time ago...

I want to be clear about something: I love the CTS Sport Wagon- I think it's beautiful and a true home run for GM. I saw it at the auto show and instantly fell in love. I am also positively smitten with the CTSV.

HOWEVER, if the upper brass at GM happened to forget, they are just now emerging from bankruptcy and need to probably be more focused on their core and the bottom line than high performance WAGONS which probably sell less than 1,000 versions a year in this country.
