Just a personal opinion I don't expect you to agree with it.

Other things I didn't like as much were steering, white suede highlights, spoiler, sound (or lack of it), the HUD and the general feel behind the wheel. Again all personal preference, but those claiming the SS is the only car you could choose after driving the two clearly have other priorities to me (and I suspect quite a few others on here).
Thanks for this- interested in you not liking the HUD- which I thought would have been pretty cool. Tonight driving a camry, I thought about the HUD and thought it would have to be pretty discrete so as to not block vital vision, but the camry speedo is set pretty down in the dash like a lot of old cars- and it is a peer down affair where a HUD may be useful.

Interested on why you did not like the HUD.
