Not the navigation crap again... geez people - buy a map. 90% of your driving or more is probably going to be within the same city you drive everyday anyways.

About the torque gauge - it was definitely gimmicky, kind of like the vacuum gauge in some of the early '60s cars like the Grand Prix. I'm glad they didn't go with that. Transmission temp, oil pressure, etc. are definitely more usable. Much more usable than a navigation system.

If these cars become future collectibles in 25 years, the navigation systems will be made fun of just like the 8 track players in the '60s and '70s cars.

It'll be like someone having an Atari 2600 hooked up in their Escalade right now.
