Chevy screwed things up on the Vette HUDs then because I've owned 3 Pontiac Bonnevilles with HUD and repalced two of the windshields on them at now extra cost.

HUDs are the one of the best features ever in a modern automobile and not distracting at all. You get used to it quickly and can dim/brighten accordingly, or just turn it all the way off (at least in the Pontiacs I've owned). It's gotten to the point that I can't stand driving my wife's car, rentals or any other vehicle without it. Looking down to check your speed seems almost dangerous to me now.

God I wish they had put a HUD in the G8.....sigh.]]>Nov 27th 2009 10:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/27/oki-shows-off-prototype-led-based-hud-coming-soon-to-a-jalopy-n/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/27/oki-shows-off-prototype-led-based-hud-coming-soon-to-a-jalopy-n/Nov 28th 2009 12:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/27/oki-shows-off-prototype-led-based-hud-coming-soon-to-a-jalopy-n/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/27/oki-shows-off-prototype-led-based-hud-coming-soon-to-a-jalopy-n/Nov 27th 2009 9:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/27/oki-shows-off-prototype-led-based-hud-coming-soon-to-a-jalopy-n/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/27/oki-shows-off-prototype-led-based-hud-coming-soon-to-a-jalopy-n/Nov 27th 2009 9:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/27/oki-shows-off-prototype-led-based-hud-coming-soon-to-a-jalopy-n/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/27/oki-shows-off-prototype-led-based-hud-coming-soon-to-a-jalopy-n/Nov 27th 2009 9:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/27/oki-shows-off-prototype-led-based-hud-coming-soon-to-a-jalopy-n/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/27/oki-shows-off-prototype-led-based-hud-coming-soon-to-a-jalopy-n/Nov 27th 2009 11:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/27/oki-shows-off-prototype-led-based-hud-coming-soon-to-a-jalopy-n/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/27/oki-shows-off-prototype-led-based-hud-coming-soon-to-a-jalopy-n/Nov 27th 2009 9:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/27/oki-shows-off-prototype-led-based-hud-coming-soon-to-a-jalopy-n/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/27/oki-shows-off-prototype-led-based-hud-coming-soon-to-a-jalopy-n/]]>Nov 27th 2009 10:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/27/oki-shows-off-prototype-led-based-hud-coming-soon-to-a-jalopy-n/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/27/oki-shows-off-prototype-led-based-hud-coming-soon-to-a-jalopy-n/
