Nitpick: a Cadillac CTS hardly has a "huge engine up front." In a head-on 85MPH crash (closing speed would make this similar to hitting a parked car at ~125MPH)

- hartror 16y agoThe engine is a big block of hard metal, not what you want between you and another car in a head on crash anyway. What the CTS does have that you do want in a head on is a nice long bonnet. This provides a nice big crumple zone in front with which to reduce the amount of g-force on the driver and passengers.
