Well, here's my opinion on it. I hate the idea of having these gauges so low, for two reasons. First, be cause I know they will collect tons of dirt/dust and be hard to clean. But also because these gauges will not be ANYWHERE near the driver's line of sight. This is why I think this gauge location will not pass federal law regulations. The only way they would work as intended (to alert the driver in the event of a problem) is to draw enough attention from the driver. The only way I see this happening is by changing the background color like Balonywolf suggests. There's really no other way to get the driver's attention so far away from where they are usually looking (at the road).
Only problem I see is, if the background goes red as a warning, then what happens if we do get customizable colors (a la Mustang) and red is one of the color choices? It would have to change to another color to be noticeable, and that may require a bit too much R&D and money for GM to wanna spend on this.
