I think that probably changes in a lighter car where higher gearing can be used. The V6 with little assistance from boost would likely get along as well or better up slight inclines than the LT1 while in 4-cylinder mode. But thats just speculation....I have no real idea which would be better. Just educated guessing.
As for the styling. I will say upfront that I really like the ATS in pretty much every way. If the CTS ends up looking like the ATS...well then I can say I'll think it is attractive. I do feel it would be ashame to make it look TOO much like an ATS which it does look very ATS like in that photo.
As for the rear...I'm not digging it. Looks like something for the old white haired guy that is doing well in his retirement years. I didn't think that was the target audience for this car, but maybe it is now that the ATS here, and the CTS is moving up in size. Guess that could make sense.
