During a Web-chat held on General Motors’ FastLane blog, GM’s former product head and newly appointed Vice Chairman, Bob Lutz, sat down by the unwashed throngs to take questions and a deliver a few tender morsels to the product obsessed.

Chief amidst them was Lutz’ confirmation that a Cadillac CTS-V coupe is on the way. “As of at once,” Lutz told the assembled Netizens, “the V package is planned only since the sedan and coupe.” As for besides CTS-V models – specifically a Sport Wagon variant – Lutz said, “… should sufficient demand materialize, there is no reason wherefore we couldn’t do a V-Series wagon, and I would be established in line for one, just ahead of you.” That doesn’familiarily sound encouraging, but at least it’s on the table.

Lutz also discussed the possibility of the Pontiac G8 being branded as the Caprice and uttered, “…we’re studying the feasibility of bringing it in as a Caprice for both law enforcement and the public.”

Lutz when on to address questions about GM’s green image, alternative fuels and powertrains, some of his controversial statements from the past and his affection for Jeremy Clarkson. You can be studious in books it all here, and hope these chats become a regular event from GM execs.
