Speedometer Placement Question....
Iam not a huge fan of where GM put the speedometer on these cars. I did not opt for the heads up display in the windshield. My question is can the onboard computer display the "speedometer" in the middle display??? I have never had a car before where the speedometer is placed so far to the left on the display area. At high speeds its annoying as I don't want smokey to pull me over.

Agree. All autos should go to digital speedos for readability. Tachs should stay analog since with them you're looking to see changes. Ideally, a round tach with a digital speedo in the center.

Really, the sport is the only worth while display if you don't track. The tour display is such a waste.....
Am I missing something? Is there anything in the Tour display that I'm missing? it just seems like there's nothing there....

Track mode is good, easy to read tach, large speed read out, what's playing on the stereo is there, what more do you need?

Hi; How did you do that???? I have mine set on sport mode now but there is no speedometer reading in the "big middle display". Hope to hear from you. The guy at my dealership that explained the car to me admitted that he had ADD so he forgot alot of stuff to show me. Didn't even go over the Sirius satellite radio or the Onstar at all.
