2010 Kia Forte Koup

You don’t see many entry-level compact coupes these days.  They were popular for about fifteen minutes a few years ago, and then the market got all sensible with crossover vehicles and hatchbacks again.  High-end two-doors are common enough, and the new muscle car war has plenty of big-engined coupes leaping into the fray.  But if you’re looking for a trunk-backed coupe at the sub-$20,000 end of the market, what do you have?  There’s the Scion tC, of course, and the Honda Civic coupe.  Ford’s Focus will be available as a two-door coupe for the rest of 2010 at least, but it’s gone once the next-generation Focus arrives in early 2011.  The Chevrolet Cobalt coupe is going the same way; its replacement, the Cruze, won’t have a two-door model.

2004 MINI Cooper S

I just have to admit that automotive-journalistic integrity goes right out the window when it comes to the MINI Cooper.  Whether you’re a car guy who likes a responsive, excellent-handling vehicle, or a commuter who only wants to get from Point A to Point B, there are few finer pleasures than nipping through traffic in a MINI, and that’s just the way it is.  Personally I’d rather have a MINI than a Ferrari, even though I certainly wouldn’t be able to keep up with the Italian sports car.  It’s all about personality.

2010 Cadillac CTS Sport Wagon

Here’s a not-so-secret fact:  the quickest way to get me to fall in love with a sedan that I generally approve of but am not excited about is to turn it into a station wagon.  Tack a cargo area on the rear end, and a competent sedan turns into a chariot made of awesome.  That’s just the way I roll.

That said, it’s no surprise that I was happy to hear of Cadillac’s plans to create a sport wagon out of the CTS, and even happier to meet it.  The CTS is a standout among compact luxury sedans, combining Cadillac’s angular and upscale new styling with competent road manners without losing its basic American-ness.  Taking that existing goodness and adding a boxy cargo space on the back?  A surefire hit, at least in my eyes.  But will the rest of the world agree?  After all, this would be Cadillac’s first attempt at a true station wagon–those Caddy wagons that you might have seen occasionally during the 1950s and 1970s were all coachbuilt vehicles, not true Cadillacs.
