The Commodore also has a nav system without a screen called 'turn by turn' or similar. The display is in the instrument cluster and displays a street name and a whopping big arrow showing left or right. no good? you need a screen display of maps? Wouldnt the full display be (more) distracting?

When the facts are: 1) The two main people behind the decision no longer work for GM. 2)That decision on Epsilon I was made nearly one decade ago. 3)Epsilon I is at the END of its life. You can't get into a time machine and go back into the 90's and change a decision on a platform that's near the end of its life. |

Re: 2009 Pontiac G8 Loses Aux. Gauges
I do wonder a bit why they put the Nav screen too low for US in the VE, if that is the reason. You would have thought'd they'd do a bit of research.

Re: 2009 Pontiac G8 Loses Aux. Gauges
It really isn't. Toyota didn't wait for generational change to supplant the old, steam-powered plants with VVTis in the mid-life of the previous lacklustre Corolla and Avensis, and GM can't change the stupid wiring to make their cars look remotely contemporary? Come on, manufacturers change more grave stuff even late in the models' run, and the Epsilons are certainly models important enough for even a one-model-year change to make sense. Is GM Chrysler or what?
