2008 Cadillac BLS Wagon

2008_Cadillac_BLS_Wagon

The 2008 Cadillac BLS Wagon is the first ever Cadillac Wagon, and its on sale in UK now priced from £21,495.

“Launching the first-ever Wagon in Cadillacs history gave us the opportunity to revise the 2008 BLS Saloon model line-up to enhance our presence in the premium UK market. We looked again at what the current UK market and consumers would expect from a Cadillac and then added all the equipment to match those expectations – as standard. This enabled us to rationalise the specification levels from three down to just one. We wanted to make the BLS line-up simple for us to communicate and for customers to understand,” said Jonathan Nash, Direct in Charge of Cadillac UK.

There are six engine choices which range between 150 PS to 255 PS, including a new 180 PS turbodiesel engine and a 200 PS Flexpower bio-ethanol engine.

    Not a big fan of how it looks but the platform itself is sound. It shares the same GM Epsilon platform as the SAAB 9-3 Sportwagon, so handling should be pretty decent.

    I never understand why Malaysians dislike wagons so much. There are more uses of wagons other than carrying corpses….. perhaps when our labour gets too expensive and we have to resort to DIY, then probably wagons will have a second coming here.

    Wagons are great when you have a big dog….not to have to worry of it mucking and destroying the leather.

    FYI, and SUV is a wagon…. ever seen a custom extended wheelbase caddilac escalade hearse? well, I have….

    This car shares the same platform with the Saab 9-2 and was built in the Saab plant, in Sweeden.

    This is based on the Saab 9-2 so the dimension is similiar.

    They just made a wagon cause lots of UK people drive wagons. If its the same interior, same engine, same everything else, than its even worse than its sedan as it drinks more petrol. Go look at Top gear’s review about the sedan version of this car on youtube.

    MyviKiller,

    The Cadillac BLS is based on the current Saab 9-3 and not 9-2 which was a Subaru Impreza wagon clone.
