Put simply, the Infiniti is a genuine mid size sedan with room in the back for actual adults to ride and be comfortable. The CTS-V is not. And realistically speaking that limits the CTS-V to
a: those who either don't care what the folks in the back think
b: people with relatively small children, and
c: those would could make due with the coupe but just had to have those extra two doors.
For everybody else M56 vs CTS-V is a non starter.

I'm afraid that, by and large, the only people saying that are the ones who don't actually want what the CTS-V offers and/or diehards for something other than GM and would never actually buy a GM product even if it was the best car for the money. What am I talking about? I'm talking about a car that a car that can be ferocious on the track, yet has a world class interior. A car whose ride quality isn't compromised by its handling.
Put simply, the Cadillac is a genuine luxury sport sedan with room in the back for nearly anyone to sit in and be comfortable, yet with performance that surpasses practically every sedan in the world. The M56 is not. And realistically speaking that limits the M56 to:
a: those who look down on Cadillac and GM
b: people need 1/2" of extra headroom
c: those who don't particularly care about the performance side of sports sedans
