..The white hud display can't be real we hope, The Dash really reminds me of a C4, and I don't believe the passenger can see the Nav. etc.
.. to be determined I guess.
..In reality, I'll probably never get to own one. If so, I would love it, Another opinion, the Tail lights could have been alittle of both designs, this new rectangle with some kind of round high tech type "lens" within this light for all of us to be smiling and ordering one quicker.

So in other words, you posted something you are not sure of and don't know anything about yet.

Skip to :23 to see an actual white HUD at work. It'll be fine. Maybe it'll wash out coming over a hill, but that's why you have that nice 8" LCD display behind the steering wheel.

Won't be optimized for night driving.

(Start: nerd-rant)
Human eyes have the highest sensitivity to green, that's why Night Vision Devices provide a green image (highest noticeable contrast to the user). White light/colored displays will be more distracting to the driver, even when dimmed. The HUD should be an aid to the driver, not a focal point. Whatever though, we'll get the design that looks the coolest, not the one that provides the best function. (End: nerd-rant)

Even then, isn't the HUD COLOR ? I mean, it's not stuck on white, anyway, right ?

I thought GM was crazy when they put a white colored HUD in the Cadillacs but it actually works well now that I was able to see it first hand.
