Default Audi Speedometer gauge one-uped by Chevy

In the US market, I feel, the speedometer gauge is way too busy with all the Kilometer markings. In my 2007 Corvette, the gauge was very clean with just one set of numbers. If you desired to switch from MPH to KPH you could press the appropriate button and the needle would jump to the accurate setting. For example: While traveling at 61mph, you could press the button and the needle would jump to 100 on the dial and the backlit indicator would switch from "MPH" to "KPH".

I would just rather have the speedometer in Kilometers, and I live in the U.S. I absolutely hate English units.

There's always the digital speedometer to display in miles.

Isn't the US the lone major country still using the imperial system of measurement?

I think Burma and the U.S. are the only two countries using the imperial system.

The UK measures distance in meters, but speed in miles per hour.
