We've been told that over and over - but I don't believe it. The theta CUV was given nav at its MCE and it is a decidedly lower tech lower volume platform than EPI. GM knows they have to have NAV in the SUV/CUV/Truck arena so all their entries offer it. They hide behind excuses on their sedans because they just don't take this segment seriously. Given the importance and sheer volume of the Aura/Malibu/G6 - hiding behind a wiring harness or wiring architecture is inexcusable.
The Aura should have had Navigation available at introduction - but GM dropped the ball here. If this sketch is accurate - they are adding some kind of display. If it has navigation then it proves my theory that EPI could have had it all along. If not - then it is money wasted as it will be viewed as a lipstick on a pig. For the Aura to be taken seriously against the Passat and Accord - it needs to have factory navigation if only as an option.

My current ride - 2004 Mazda6s - V6 with a five speed manual. GM forced me to the competition because they didn't offer a midsize sedan with a V6 and manual transmission.
