Why? Because quality makes a difference:
Certain areas of vehicles, such as the roof pillars and door handles, are among the most difficult and time-consuming to armor. Our competitors often do not armor these areas to save time, reduce costs, and sell lower priced armored vehicles. They call this technique “probability armoring,” because an assailant’s bullet “probably” won’t penetrate the unarmored areas and hit someone inside.
At Cadillac, we don’t believe in leaving your safety to chance. We cover every possible angle of attack, leaving nothing to chance. Every armoring system includes overlapping armor at the seams and critical joints, to defeat all possible shot lines.
You can bet that if I ever need an armored car, I'll insist on Cadillac!


It's a pretty good spoof, but there's a few glaring errors that give it away.
The paragraph that begins "With children caring [sic ]guns to school" not only has a glaring grammatical error, it's of far too unprofessional a tone for a real GM website.
The second tell is the inclusion of the Hummer link. The GM brand police would never allow this sort of trademark dilution/confusion.
Oh, and the final tell, the domain name is registered to an individual person in Massachusetts.
For comparison, here's the website for BMW Security Limousines, though limousine might be bit misapplied to the 3-series.

Here's a real website for a company that provides armored Cadillacs:

Wow, both sites are very interesting. Like a peak into another world. Thanks for the info and the links!

Comedian: In foreignvania, "limousin[e]" simply means the same as "sedan" (or "saloon"). I'm not sure what the Krauts call a long, super-luxurious car someone else drives for you, but "limousine" does not have that meaning in German.
(If I wanted an armored BMW, I'd want a 760, personally. But then my tastes run more towards Mercedes than BMW.)
