Saab has lined up a couple of interesting new models, with the new 2012 Saab 9-5 Wagon, also known as the SportCombi, the most interesting to make it to the market. A fresh image of the commuter has surfaced courtesy of a sales presentation and the leaked image reveals the sleek design with a distinctive profile. It gets sloping C pillars which will, by all means, reduce the luggage capacity of the estate wagon and it will hold 540 liters of cargo with the seats folded down. The wagon will share the engine from its sedan variant which runs on three options — 162 kW turbocharged 2.0-liter petrol, a 118 kW 2.0-liter turbodiesel, and a turbocharged 2.8-liter V6 with 221 kW output. The 2012 Saab 9-5 Wagon will probably break cover at the Paris Motor Show later this year.

The Cadillac CTS-V Sport Wagon which is slated for a release at the upcoming New York Auto Show has been detailed prior to its debut. Scheduled for sales in late 2010 the Sport wagon offers a pleasing combination of performance and practicality. Where Volvo and BMW are dropping wagons in the US, Cadillac is ready to arrive with a variant that can please the best of speed freaks and the larger families. The wagon offers 720L of space behind the rear seats and this space more than doubles when the seats are folded. The engine choice includes a top bracket supercharged 6.2L V8 beast that renders 556hp with 551lb-ft of torque. This engine is mated to a 6-speed manual/automatic transmission and together the combination helps the car to dash from 0 to 60mph in 4.5 seconds.

Spy photographers managed to capture the Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG wagon whilst the commuter was being test driven at night in Germany. The wagon was clicked without much camouflaging which reveals quite a bit about the car before its slated Frankfurt debut. The images reveal that the E 63 AMG sedan hasn’t been much tampered with when talking about the front fascia and therefore the same split lighting, front lip, and LEDs are visible. Towards the rear, there are some changes than can be spotted and that includes light clusters and a hatch. Even the rear bumper is a new entity but that is not the case with the Quad exhaust. The wagon will be powered by a 6.3-liter V8 engine from AMG which produces 518hp with 630Nm of torque. [via WCF]
