cmyX6go will become famous soon enough
I don't multi task. When I'm driving, I'm driving. No cell phone, no blackberry, no food, no drink, no makeup. Nothing but eyes on the road. I don't need to look at my speedo. I found the HUD to be distracting, where my eyes traveled to the display and took my focus off the road.

That's why they are options. Some like the features. some don't.

You are absolutely correct. That's why they make chocolate and vanilla...and even strawberry. Since I'm used to playing in an orchestra with one eye on the conductor and one eye on the music, the heads up doesn't both me. But I can understand how it could be distracting for someone not used to having to focus on two different planes at the same time. I did get one option that I probably won't use...the $150 phone integration. I don't have an I-phone or blackberry yet, so it won't help with my two year old Razr3. Since I'm on T-mobile, I can't do an I-phone. I don't even like to talk on the phone hands free when I'm driving, so what was I thinking when I decided on this option (?). At least it will only cost me less than a buck a month in a lease.
