DVD player question by myblubu

I read a consumer review on the Arcadia and they mentioned that when using the DVD player, the video can also be made visible on the Navigation screen - is that true? I'm planning on buying an Outlook and had not considered the Navigation option, but I'd definitely be interested in this option if the system works this way.

Don't know if that is true or not but I can tell you if it does it will be like ALL the other nav. units on GM and you can ONLY watch video while the vehicle is NOT moving.

Sounds like a distraction having a movie playing so that the driver and passenger can watch it. Why would you want that distraction? What happened to the good old days when the driver payed attention to the traffic and what was going on around his vehicle. DVD players, Nav, phones give me a break sounds like a safe combo...but each to their own, I don't think the video is visable on the nav. but I could be wrong. As the dealer...

Don't know if it's at all visible on the NAV, but certainly not when in movement. However there are plenty of aftermarket plug-ins that can take bypass all these "lawyer" features (and will also allow you to input commands on the NAV while the vehicle is moving). You have to be able to get behind the radio, though, which can be a pain.
 
Of course it's up to you whether or not you feel it's safe to watch a movie while driving...I personally would not.

Only if you are in Park. That is the way the SRX works. There are some aftermarket companies that can revise you vehicle to allow viewing while driving.

Someone had posted, maybe 2 weeks ago or so (I just searched, it was post #1918), that GM was not adding a 3rd shift at the plant as to not flood the market place with Acadias and keep prices higher.
 
So I took this opportunity to make a pointed sarcastic and unfunny comment (hence the 'ha ha') to show that I never believed for one second that GM was purposely slowing down production by not adding a 3rd shift just to keep prices higher. Building another plant kinda shows that it really wants to meet demands.
 
Have I cleared things up?

I am guessing that the point is that they are not building a new, additional plant. If anything they would add an additional shift to the existing plant.

Yep.
 
Hope they do not flood the market and IMO they will not.
 
The days of huge Suburbans and Tahoes and Expeditions amd Trailblazers all over the road will subside (but NOT go away) and LARGE CUV's will take some of that business. And that is a HUGE market. And the Lamdas are the best in the market today for large CUV's. I think the biggest issue is that they look small on the outside!

Saturn workers can go on layoff without worry now -- they will return as Chevrolet workers.
 
But when?
 
General Motors officially let the car out of the bag this afternoon on the future of Saturn's soon-to-close factory in Spring Hill, Tenn.
 
The plant will produce a new Chevrolet crossover in 2009, GM North America President Troy Clarke told them during a plant visit.
 
The question has been a source of anxiety for some the 4,200 hourly workers at Spring Hill. Although sources have indicated that a Lambda-platform Chevy was definitely planned for Spring Hill, many workers had their doubts.
 
"We're just worried that GM hasn't told us what's coming," assembly worker Craig Fincher said earlier this week as he prepared for an extended layoff. "It would be nice to have that little reassurance that something's coming for us. Why haven't they said?"
 
Today, Clarke said.
 
"Do you know a plant that wants to build a Chevy crossover?" Clarke asked the cheering crowd. "Well, guess what? You're going to."
 
Clarke told workers the Chevy would start in 2009. He did not clarify whether he meant calendar year 2009 or model year 2009.
 
The difference is important, since a calendar-year 2009 start would mean a much longer lay-off for the thousands of Spring Hill employees and some 10,000 dependent supplier jobs. The plant has been planning on a 14-16 month suspension until now, which would indicate a late summer 2008 reopening.
 
In Detroit, GM would only confirm in a brief prepared statement that it had shared business information with employees "that they will have a future product upon their return."
 
"We are not prepared to discuss the specific product at this time," the statement read, "as it is still more than two years away."
