The HUD was available on the GT & GTP in 04 & 05, but for 06 it's only on the GXP. I read somewhere a while back that Bob Lutz (Pontiac's head cheese, who took over in 2002 or so) thinks of the HUD as a gimmick only. The 06 availability seems to confirm that. I think he's making a serious mistake.
I'm really sorry they took it away because it's NOT a gimmick at all. I think it's such a great safety device that I can't believe it's not mandated in EVERY car. Once enough people start using one, they will insist on one and eventually it will become a standard in all cars. LOVE the thing and miss it in my GT. But otherwise, these are really nice machines. Of course, I'm still looking forward to April to get my Vette out!
