Motor Trend pits Cadillac CTS-V vs Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG in wagon-off

Station wagons, as pointed out by ex-Autoblogger Jonny Lieberman, are boring. "It's the penalty you pay for falling in love and having children," he says.

Sure, just so long as your children like to go fast, at least when the chosen conveyance to move those booster seats from Point A to Point B is either the wagon version of the Cadillac CTS-V or Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG, as tested by Motor Trend in the video you'll see after the break.

Without spoiling any of the salient details, we'll say that one car was a wee bit quicker, crossing the finish line a scant 79 feet ahead of its rival after a half-mile of acceleration to speeds surpassing 150 miles per hour, while the other was deemed the overall better car for enthusiast drivers.

awesome vid. Never realized they were THAT rare.

I personally would choose the Caddy. Manual Tranny + awesome LS sound = WIN

cool review as long as they dont call them "shooting break" designs when its clearly a wagon. I think "estate car" is more acceptable

Amazing sport wagons/estates/tourers. Fantastic vehicles indeed.
