Not the V-series, but the regular CTS.

I, for one, welcome our new turbo overlords.

If this upgrade also applies to the SportWagon version and the price stays the same as the current CTS's, I will be regretting buying my Wrangler very soon.

I personally don't understand. Unless there are packaging constraints for the V8 (uh, cause twin-turbos are easy to package...) they have a great line of LSX V8's that get decent mpg and keep with the heritage of GM. I guess the DI twin-turbo does make gratuitous peak torque even lower than a V8, but there is a reason why people like V8's and it just isn't for the power.

In reply to McTinkerson:

everything I hear points towards the CTS wagon going bye-bye.

Better V8s in the CTS-V, perhaps?

Somehow I doubt the Cadillac product planners expected this particular conquest.
