They're gonna take some flak over that one.
It may not be reasonable flak due to the fact that you can buy an add on GPS system for a lot less, and OnStar might be the cat's meow... but it's coming fer sure...
One issue that may come up is the fact that the add-on GPS systems are getting less and less expensive, and don't really need a subscription.
The day is coming (maybe already here...) that the price of the subscription service over 36 months will be greater than the price of a complete add on GPS system.

I consider the HUD delay "bad medicine". I want the car right away but waiting another ~6 months for it gives me that much longer to prepare financially as well as helping on the price of the car, which will be a little less affected by the "gotta have it" factor by then.

Mapquest just isn't as convenient, though I'm sure you already know that. Bottom line: I like it and I want it in my next car.
