My wife's 2010 Chevy Impala changes all readouts when switched from "English" to "Metric". This includes speed which changes the label from MPH to km/h (no dual numerals!), tire pressure in kPa, economy to L/100 km, temperature to °C, range to km, and so on. It appears to be totally converted with no mixed units. I am some what surprised.

I wonder if anyone knows of any vehicles sold in the US which have the capability of switching to full metric at the push of a button. I mean all of the following: speed, distance covered, outside temperature, and (if available on the vehicle) distance to empty tank, average speed, coolant temperature, oil pressure, instantaneous and overall fuel economy, and anything else (I can't think of any others).
I owned a first edition Honda Insight that offered all of these by simply turning a switch. A 2004 Chevy truck offers most of these (but not speed), but you have to scroll through a computer menu to do it. My Prius offers only the speed option, sadly. I wonder about the new version of the Insight.
