If anything, id say you were the backwards thinker in that scenario. I hate morons who leave their turn signal on.
Again, read my post above. What age group is generally known for leaving turn signals on? What car brands are associated with old people driving them? Isn't GM currently trying to sell to the 20s/30s crowd? I don't refute that it is a nice feature but when you take into account their target demographic I find the feature silly. Why not also program the car to remind you to avoid farmers markets (south park reference with a hint of sarcasm).

Bottom line is that it is an "old people feature" not a meaningful safety feature. That's all I can say about that. The CTS-V is a blast to drive but the console is a bit busy for my tastes. For the price though I'd probably take it.

PS. Sorry for stereotyping to any older folks here, was just trying to make my point.
