    I always thought GM did a good job with gauges, at least in their performance-oriented vehicles. I'm often surprised when newer cars don't have some of the gauges and readouts I have in my 05 CTS-V. For example, GM has had oil life monitoring systems since 1988. Transmission life monitoring since at least the early 2000s. 4 wheel tire pressure readout (1997 C5). The 1987 C4 introduced a system that told you when a tire dropped below 25psi, which is exactly as fancy as some of these modern systems that don't read out PSI. In 1987. In my CTS-V, there's a dot matrix display within the speedo that I can configure for coolant temp, oil temp, transmission temp (yes on a manual), oil pressure, a readout of all 4 tire pressures, and of course the G-meter. When playing on The Dragon, the two most used settings were oil temp and tire pressure. I would occasionally sift through and make sure everything else was ok...lots of bonging for high tire pressure (hot tires). My 93 Caprice 9C1 has a full set of gauges (tach, oil pressure, volts, temp, fuel, digital speedo) and none of them are dummies. Same with my 95 Z28. Maybe I just buy cars with good gauges...

    All I want for a early Christmas is a full set of working gauges digital or analog.
