Have you even looked at this system? It sure doesn't sound like it. I guess "GM Inside News" doesn't actually go "Inside" the cars. I'm sitting here looking at at no less than 8 distinct colors on the unit in the day time. At night, its not just green and black. I switched it to night mode artificially and I see white, red, blue, green, black. Its much more comfortable, and safe, to view at night when the display is simplified. As the post above said, aircraft displays do the very same thing for the very same reasons. Do you want to criticize them as well? I guess those engineers at Boeing are idiots too?

How about you take chill pill huh? I have actually owned 4 cars with this nav unit in it..so I know it quite well. It was refering to night view and also being sarcastic. That being said...compared to every nav I have...from the Pioneer Avic D3 in my GTO, to the one in my wifes Avalanche, and the MyGig in my Charger...it is prehistoric and a joke in a $45K car.
