Who wants the HUD system available ASAP?

linkwpc · 10-14-2008, 10:55 PM

just wondering now many people really want this HUD system? I'm one of those people that really want the HUD available ASAP!

So speak your mind!

Lets tell GM what we want!

Nope, because it means something else would be delayed to make up for it. They only have so much time and money to put into the car. The sooner its on the streets the better. I don't think the Camaro Team just decided they would rather play golf or something on the day they were supposed to design the HUD. I am sure it was a calculated decision weighing the trade offs of having it at launch or not.

If it was available I would have ordered it, and I understand its frustrating and worth waiting for to some people. But rest assured, GM isn't holding it back just to piss people off while they laugh maniacally.

I am 100% certain that if GM could have the HUD availible at launch they would. The fact is that GM does not make the actual parts that go into the cars. Because they are made by suppliers and all suppliers have limitations it is likely that this is one of the key issues. The other factor is that if the HUD is only availible in very limited numbers it would be a big distraction that would not be worth the hassle. Lastly the Corvette's with a HUD have a different windsheild than the cars without. I have read that there is a special film that allows the HUD to display more clearly on those windsheilds. So now you have two major components to worry about at the launch of a car.

I want a HUD for my car but it aint gonna happen so no reason to get too upset about it.

Yeah, HUD a cool 80's effect, but it just hasn't taken off in the market.

I think the cooler option really is the Caddy's Near Infra-Red nightvision camera HUD. Now THAT is a bad ass option.

I'm not really upset. But not really happy as well. I think waiting about 6 months after the car come out is fine. But waiting two years for until the MY2011 model is just too long!!

BUMP~! Vote! so we can tell GM what we really think!

linkwpc · 10-28-2008, 02:12 PM

did you even read the responses you received? It can not be done faster than currently planned, no matter how much you petition GM to make it happen. Don't you think they have more pressing issues than speeding up the addition of HUD to the new Camaro? If you like the new Camaro and you like HUD, then you should be ecstatic that there IS a new Camaro and it WILL have HUD available at ANY time!

Read them. But that will not stop me from trying. Its better to try then do nothing. Atleast I'm trying. Gm may never read this but at least some one tried. So I will keep tiring because you never know who is reading this.

I think GM is missong out on many many people who potentially would pre-order their camaro's with the HUD option, even if it cost an extra $500, I would pay for it..

JeremyNYR · 10-30-2008, 09:04 AM

linkwpc, I think you're closer to beating your head against the wall with this one.

supermans, they may lose some pre-orders, but those people will only be delaying their purchase until the HUD is available. Anyone that says "I won't buy a Camaro at all because HUD isn't available at the start of production!" wasn't seriously going to buy a Camaro to begin with and only wanted to cite a reason other than "I can't afford it".

out of curiousity, does Mustang or Challenger offer or plan to offer HUD?

linkwpc · 10-30-2008, 02:04 PM

That ok with me. It does not hurt to try.

The problem I'm having with the HUD is not that it will not be available in the start of the production, but that it will be available 2 years later! Thats my problem! I can wait a year but two? Now thats too much!

For now the stang and the challenger, do not offer HUDs.

where did it say 2 years? I was under the impression that it would be available during the 2010 model year, just not at SOP

GTODan · 10-31-2008, 12:34 PM

Nope, pushed back to 6/2010 or start of 2011 MY.
