140 mph speedometer can't be read properly while driving. Even with new glasses this gage is for kilometers only. We need a new dial that shows mph readable to 2 1/2 mph. There is no reason in this usa to have a speedometer to go to 140 mph. 2 times the legal speed limit in the usa. When spending $25,000 on this new Chevy Impala, one would not even think that GM is so cheap to same money on the speedometer dial. There is no reason for only have numbers of speed at 20 mph when the police give out tickets for 5 mph over the speed limit.
