Three new models–the CTS Sport Wagon, a new SRX crossover based on the Provoq concept and the Eldorado-esq CTS Coupe–will launch every few months starting in the first quarter of next year as General Motors’ luxury brand looks to reinvigorate and expand its lineup with fresh, eye-catching products.
The Sport Wagon will be the first new Caddy to hit the market, in the spring. It will be revealed this weekend at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance and then hit the auto show circuit this fall.
