It is awesome to see companies involved in ventures that incorporate a very important population: America’s youth.  Cadillac, along with General Motors, will be sponsoring the premiere of a documentary called ‘Slant 45′, which showcases a youth service group.  This movie is part of Super Bowl XLV’s organizing campaign.  The budget for the documentary is around $1.5 million dollars and Cadillac, GM and two other sponsors will be footing most of that budget.

The Slant 45 project currently has over 13,000 students over 42 schools participating in the North Texas region where the Super Bowl will be held.  These students have been helping with community projects such as cleaning up neighborhoods, collecting and distributing toiletries to homeless people, and removing graffiti from area buildings.  It’s very important for children to learn that others are not always as fortunate and that the environment around them must be cared for in a positive way.  The children involved are also producing art to be displayed in the area, such as at the Dallas/Fort Worth Airport.

Cadillac is proud to be a part of this great service initiative and will also spend the Super Bowl as a time to showcase the all-new CTS Coupe.  It joins an already amazing line up of Cadillacs such as the Chicago DTS, Escalade, Chicago SRX and so much more.  The coupe is a fun, sporty car that will offer several options, such as a 3.6 liter V6 with rear wheel drive.  You can also opt for the same 3.6 liter V6 that has some performance enhancements like a Memory Package and headlights with Adaptive Forward Lighting technology.  The Premium V6, 3.6 liter CTS Coupe is also an option if you like this line.

Moreover, the CTS coupe is a nice option if you want something smaller to get around in, disguised as you “don’t want the family vehicle yet ” that someone who might purchase the Chicago SRX definitely needs.  You prefer the sports cars to get around in before you have to settle down and spring for a vehicle that gives you more space for the things a family needs.  For even more fun behind the wheel, opt for the CTS-V version that comes with a supercharged 6.2 liter V8 engine capable of pumping out 556 HP.

Advanced safety technology in current autos, as well as what will be in future models, is truly amazing.  Autos have the the capability to keep you safer than ever before and they’ll keep getting safer, experts say.  Cadillac is one car maker that is hard at work developing safety features that Chicago DTS owners will come to rely on in future models.

Not just any car or SUV can be receive this accomplishment. The institute does side and rear tests and the vehicle must also have an electronic stability control.

As a parent of a small child, I have a great interest in vehicles that safely transport my family from Point A to Point B, especially in the approaching winter months!

What are some of the safety features on this SRX and other Used Cadillac Chicago SRX’s? First of all, the vehicle has excellent brakes. Perfect in a situation where you might be transporting children to soccer practice and the car in front of you decides to break and turn without using turning indicators! Moreover, this Chicago SRX has improved all-wheel drive, helping it keep constant contact with the road. A feature that is very important during that rush-hour drive home in the snow!
