Answers:
1) Yes, your vehicle has both traction control and stabilitrac. Both systems default to "On" when starting the car but can be disabled manually if a need arises.
2) Limited slip differential was included on all V8 models and all manual transmission V6 models in 2010. Automatic V6 models did NOT have limited slip differentials in 2010. I did not seen anything showing a change to this in 2011 or later MY's.
The "theory" folks were guessing at as to why the auto V6 did not have limited slip was that they were expected to be mostly daily driver types and weren't expected to be used as much in a "performance driving" situation that would benefit from it. I think that there are a large number of automatic V6 owners that would STRONGLY disagree with that, and I would absolutely agree with them ... but that is the best guess as to why GM made the decision.
