Can't talk CTSes and leave out the wagon
such a stupid car to make but i swear id whip it. you rarely see em too
Its a brilliant car to make.
Wagons almost always out handle their 4 door counterparts.
They don't out handle the sedans.. They carry more weight on the backside.. But what they do have is better aerodynamics, so the top speed and mpg are marginally better... But unlike a sedan, you can put a dog in the trunk, and it's not animal abuse...
Also, a random wagon fact... E63 wagons have a rear facing, pop up third row...
Yes they do out handle sedans, because wagons almost always have a more balanced weight distribution.
So what you're trying to say.. Is that to make a car handle better.. You add weight?... Colin Chapman is rolling over...
Weight plays a factor in acceleration. Weight distribution has much more to do with handling than raw curb weight.
That's why front heavy cars like c3 Vettes handle poorly in spite of their low curb weight.
