2010 Cadillac CTS Sport Wagon AWD
Sticker price: $45,430
Market price: N/A
The new CTS Sport Wagon, Cadillac's first-ever straight-from-the-factory station wagon, has barely touched its tires to the ground and already there are discounts, according to analysts at TrueCar.com.

Already buyers of the high end all-wheel-dive Performance version are getting average dealer discounts of about $2,200, according to TrueCar. This is based on sales of a relative handful of cars, though, which is why no firm market price is available. (Market price figures displayed here are calculated by Vincentric.)

None of this indicates that the CTS Sport Wagon is a bad car. The sedan version is an excellent value, ranking among the very best mid-sized luxury cars you can buy while providing more interior space for the dollar than BMW or Mercedes-Benz.

The Sport Wagon just changes the body lines, giving you the cargo-carrying flexibility of an SUV but with much more driving enjoyment.

This is a car that was designed primarily with the European market in mind. These discounts probably just reflect Americans' typical irrational hesitancy regarding any car without a trunk.
