GM really has a chance to move ahead of everyone in the same market if they build it on the ATS chassis. Now if they build it on the CTS chassis then it might not lose any weight.
I'm not sure that I totally follow you. The 2011 CTS was on Sigma II, which shared some parts with the Camaro's Zeta platform but was not identical. The 2014 CTS is on Alpha, and it did drop ~250 lbs (comparing comparably equipped 3.6L models).
