hell if it don't have a nav I'll build you a computer system for you car that has wi-fi bluetooth and massive storage along with a 5.1 or 7.1 and touch screen. for about 2k. . .lol.

I don't really need it....won't spend two grand on it...but it will help to sell the car if it's an option.

Guys keep in mind this is not a BMW or a Cadillac...don't get your hopes set to the wrong price bracket.

Exactly people talks about 400+hp V8 with every option possible and yet want the price to be competitive

for me thanks no need
keep it nice and simple

uhhh or is that +2... One for each.... Not a total of two... Just one (1) and (1)... Just to be clear. Only 1 for Tag and a totally different 1 for Proxemics... Not to be confused with 2 for both of them.....

If you haven't figured it out. I'm not getting much work done today...:seesaw:

honestly if it has nav cool, if not. . .oh well. I hope they honestly offer a stripped down version for those of us that like to race. that nave probably adds at least another 100 to 200 lbs. 1-2 tenths of a second. . .that could be a win or a loss. . .

also remember the term KISS- Keep It Simple Stupid. makes things more reliable.

If GM is smart they will make it an option, but to keep it cost competitive with the mustang it can't be standard.

If OnStar is going to be standard equipment then you already have the most expensive hardware bits of a Nav system already built in. The only thing missing is some software. And it looks like OnStar may be standard.

Yes, keep it simple. Those NAv screens fade over time and look like crap after a few years and are outdated compared to Garmin standalone units that cost a thousand less and can be easily updated. A radio/cd player and an option for 460 watt stereo system would be all I need.. I don't need 1000 watts either as is offered in the Mustang..A brand name like Bose would be a nice speaker setup if it is molded into the car nicely.. I don't even need leather seats, however it probably will come standard in the SS version..

Holy hell, I didnt realize it costed that much. Looks like I'll need to buy an MP3 player pretty soon then.

No need for Nav. For one the turn by turn directions are great, and for two the cost of a factory unit vs one you can go buy at walmart are to great.

Bart · 05-29-2008, 08:50 AM

I don't want one, but does it ****NEED**** one as an option? Definitely. There are a LOT of people who have to have a nav system just to say they have it. And if everyone is right, and that it becomes a $2k option, think what it actually costs GM to put it in. Not near that much. Sounds like a nice little profit center that should hopefully lower overall costs... for the rest of us!

Mr Twisty · 05-29-2008, 10:45 PM

No NAV
1) Real men don't need no stinkin directions!
2) Good excuse to ask the cute chick for directions
3) Who needs directions to the end of the 1320
