From the rear, humungous vertical taillamps (with light-pipe technology) flank the power rear liftgate.

I remember the days when Cadillac ownership went along with retirement and Tilley hats.

Overhangs are relatively short, and with the 19-inch alloys, flared wheel arches, wide stance and rear-sloping roofline, the look is purposeful and aggressive.

The CTS wagon, essentially the same size as the CTS sport sedan on which it is based, provides nearly double the carrying capacity with 720 litres behind the rear seats and 1,642 litres with them folded.

And in keeping with the spirit of renaissance and revival, Cadillac has put its own stamp on a North American icon, the full-size station wagon that has all but disappeared domestically, with the departure of the Dodge Magnum.

The CTS Wagon not only looks the part of a sport wagon, it is pretty much identical, mechanically and visually, to the proven CTS Sports Sedan from the rear doors forward.

They sweep up to the roofline where the trailing edge of the cargo load system creates a subtle fin effect. The neat thing about this roof system is that the centre portion of the roof panel angles slightly downward from the edges, allowing a seamless, integrated “roof rack” without the typical stanchions, brackets and crossbars.

Sure, you get utility.

The car’s sharp creases and in-your-face angularity were a bit jarring at first, but its look has since grown on me, and I find it works even better in a wagon design.

The better choice may be the optional 3.6-litre direct injection V6 engine that produces 304 hp and 273 lb/ft at 5200 rpm. This is the same engine used in the base Camaro.

Lately, the General has taken quite a beating.

But there’s much more to this vehicle than its ability to haul boxes and furniture.

First, it’s a head-turner. I’ll admit that I wasn’t initially a fan of the CTS sedan when it launched.

The 2010 CTS Sport Wagon, a first for the nameplate, is no remake of the Olds Vista Cruiser, but a truly modern spin on the classic wagon design.

The current vehicle lineup, in sharp contrast to the land barges of yesteryear, now includes the dramatic XLR and the red-hot, 556-hp CTS V—cars which would have grandpa clutching his chest after a turn at the wheel.

So at the recent launch of the 2010 Cadillac CTS Sport Wagon, General Motors spokespeople spent no time going over their financial woes and recovery plan, of which we are all well acquainted.

It is powered by a standard 3.0-litre direct injection V6 engine with variable valve timing that delivers 270 hp and 223 lb/ft of torque at 5700 rpm. In a vehicle that weighs in the neighbourhood of two tons, this powerplant has its work cut out for it.

The large, chrome grille is distinctly Cadillac and is punctuated by the backswept trapezoidal headlamps.

Instead, the focus was that Cadillac is now 10 years into a product renaissance, and just having updated one model and adding another, they are hoping for a brighter future in the luxury segment.
