Used Car of the Day: 2010 Audi A3 Wagon
We love wagons around here, and the recent trend continues with this 2010 Audi A3 wagon.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

- Theflyersfan How to fix Cadillac? Blackwing.Now I know (because I've asked) dealers are still thinking they are selling Demons with the kinds of markups on Blackwings, but for enthusiast drivers in the know, those cars are legit. They get lost in the shuffle of M-this and AMG-that, but they hold their own. However, with rising CAFE standards and upcoming emissions requirements, along with European CO2 limits, they all can't be turbo V8s with no hybrid propulsion. So at least mild hybrid them to try to eke out another 8-10 mpg average. That's a good start. Do something with the Escalade. These aren't the early 2000s when they had the hip hop image and every corner had a jet black Escalade with chrome rims. In my area, you just don't see them any longer as money has moved to the Germans. If they want to compete with the Germans, they have to downsize it and crank the engine up to 11. It's still way too truckish to compete with the Q8, X7, and GLS. Even though they probably don't want to, keep the sedans. Don't give those up to the Germans, Japanese, and Koreans as well. And with all that, go all in with performance. Become what BMW was over 15 years ago. They tried that before and half assed it, but they have the tools to make it happen now. Try to appeal to the audience that BMW and Mercedes left behind and that Genesis and Acura are trying to claim (or reclaim). Good luck Cadillac...you'll need it.
- SCE to AUX Introduce a modern V-16 and put it into a Celestiq-like vehicle instead of electric.
- DungBeetle62 For where we're at in the product cycle, I think there are bigger changes afoot. With this generation debuting in 2018, and the Avalon gone, is the next ES to be Crown based? That'll be an interesting aesthetic leap.
- Philip Precht When Cadillac stopped building luxury cars, with luxury looks, that is when they started their downward spiral. Now, they just look like Chevrolet knock-offs, not much luxury, no luxurious looks. Interiors are just generic. Nothing what they used to look like. Why should someone spend $80,000 on a Cadillac when they can spend a LOT less and get a comparable looking Chevrolet????

Isn't this just a Golf Wagon with better styling and interior?
I still cannot get used to the fact how worthless the $ has become compared to even 8 years ago, when I was able to buy far superior and more powerful cars than this little POS for.... 1/3rd less, both from a dealer, as good as new, and with free warranties. Oh, and they were not 15 year olds like this geezer, but 8 and 9 year olds instead.
Not really a wagon, but a "sportback", i.e., hatchback
