The replacement windshield for the HUD is about $2,000
Also there will be a hole on top of your dash if you order HUD. Just another expensive item to fail and for you to pay lots of $$$$

GM is the only one that offers them and they have been around for awhile and have not caught on.

I don't know of any other car companys using this.

Used to drive a patrol car (Chevy Caprice) that had a digital speedometer... VERY useful for checking your speed at a glance when you're traveling in excess of 100 mph... The HUD on my Vette's windshield is even better; wouldn't be without it.

You have to buy a $4K plus package to get it. So, I am one of the few who say it is not worth it.

I've had alphanumeric speedo's on both cars and bikes, IMHO way-better than sweep-needles.

Definately worth the investment.

I find myself speeding in other cars cuz I can't see the speedometer unless I make a point to look. With the hud, it's always there. Around town, when not goofing off, I'm almost always doing exactly the speed limit, and this has saved me from some instant on radars in the last couple of weeks.The G-force meter is fun as hell

It is absolutely worth it. I wouldn't have considered buying a C6
without it. Why spend that much money and deprive yourself one of the most useful and rewarding options the vehicle has to offer?Therefore.
in conclusion HUD = Hell Uva Deal.
