2013 Cadillac CTS Premium Sport Wagon - Editors' Notebook - Automobile Magazine
Every CTS is solid and luxurious, and this wagon is no exception.

Give Cadillac credit for taking on the European premium marques in a segment that they've pretty much owned up 'til now -- the luxury wagon.

Are you sure you want a supercar?

Skirting Mono Lake in a 2013 Bentley Continental GT Speed Convertible, I think back to the last time I was in this part of California. I was in grade school on vacation with my mother, grandmother, and younger sister. We were in grandma's aging Chrysler minivan, and its three-speed automatic transmission was not long for this world.
