The Magnum is Chrysler, why this is GM.  So they wouldnt share anything.  But it is very nice looking.

Its only a chop, although I'm sure Cadillac would be able to sell a good amount of these.

Doubt it, premium sport wagons aren't very popular over here. It looks alright.

Worse gas mileage, not as nimble, and more expensive.

I was kidding, several manufacturers (especially upscale ones) have sustained SUV and wagons based on the same sedan.

That's one, and S60, V70, and XC90 would be another example.

Yup.  Then you have Nissan Murano, although there is no wagon that shares the platform, only a sedan and a sports car.

The Outback/Legacy and B9 are another example as are the Impreza and Forester.

The Murano is not built on the FM platform.  The FX, 350Z, and G35 are though.

Indeed, though the Murano does share a platform with two sedans (Altima and Maxima) as well as a minivan (the Quest).

I meant FX.  I got confused there.
