That's because it's the sports version of a family sedan, rather than a purpose-built sports car. Similar to how a CTS-V would feel heavier and less responsive than a ZR1 Corvette, even though they share the same engine (pretty much). Don't get me wrong, I love the CTS-V, but there's a big difference between a performance version of a normal car, and a car that is purpose built.
