8th Gen Dash Display

This is crazy, I was driving by an 8th gen sedan on my way out of town this weekend, and I $hit you not, we got probably 10 feet from his backdoor and I could see exactly how fast he was going on his speedometer. That digital stuff looks cool as hell, but just think if you were speeding and a cop pulled up next to you. The display on those damned things are so big and bright, seems like a disadvantage that everyone in the world can see exactly how fast you are going....well thats my .02 , anyone else have a similar experience?

I looked at a 06 sedan this weekend. My mom was leasing an 05 accord, so I check it out...its nice...but I'm not a 4-door kinda guy, i love the coupes...should be sweet when they come out.. on a side note the dealer had an 05 accord coupe, silver, lip kit, 16" wheels (honda wheels), V-6, that whole HFP package, it was nice, but it was 33,000...i was like WHOOOOOAAAA...

I think the guage display is kind of cool for a new design, I dont drive crazy so I wouldnt worry about it. The 8th gen coupes are cool but I think the 4 doors are well, different. Not to say they are bad, I guess if I had to choose between a scion box or a 8th gen 4-door, I would take the 8th gen.

The tach needs to be on top, not the speedo. Shift light or not, I don't care tach on top, or at least S2K style with bars up there.
