This was debated while I was at Cadillac. I agree with you 100% but the powers that be did not. I thought one of the many mistakes was not marketing the CTS V-sport more. I felt that was one of their better cars that most people didn't know about (thus sold poorly). Had the same engine as the ATS-V (slightly detuned to 420/420) but plenty quick. It was a well priced in between the lower powertrains and the monster that is the V. Unfortunately they felt the V-sport name was not well recognized and went the way of many of the other OEMs (like the M340, M550 way vs the M-sport) and now will dilute the V-series and have a new naming convention for the "true" Vs. Just my 2 cents.
