Ha! That's what I thought...until I got really, really used to it.
Best thing in Vette (that was in my XLRV) is the HUD. LOVE that thing. Thought it was pointless/annoying at first...now I get confused when I drive a car that doesn't have it.

Just like having a screen between the Tach/Speedo has done to me. The GTO had one and the G8 has one. Once you get used to it displaying big numbers for your current speed, going back to a car with only a needle confuses me.

So true. When I first bought my 'Vette, I didn't think I'd even use the HUD but now I find myself using that more than I do the actual speedometer! Hopefully the C7 Corvette updates it a bit though, the 1980's digital green color does look a bit dated no matter how wonderfully helpful and convenient it it.

Frankly, I don't see why every car doesn't have one.

Because the entire automotive universe is ruled by BEAN COUNTERS who don't see the utility and benefit of an HUD in a vehicle

Kind of odd the CTS-V doesn't have HUD...IMO, for any performance car, HUD should be standard!

Actually HUD is favored be Techno geeks,
Real performance cars and drivers don't need that crap.

This car in front of the Vette for example.
