Even when US manufactured cars are sold in Canada, they normally wouldn't use the US format speedometers (big MPH, small km/h). The US car manufacturers actually have "Canadian speedometers" that have large km/h on the outer ring, and a smaller inner ring of mph, or sometimes no mph. They do not normally use the US format speedometers. Stephen Gallagher P.S. I will add that my recently rented Chevy (in Canada) did have this big km/h and small mph format, as does my 2001 Toyota Camry. > > At 20:12 2003-09-21 -0400, Norman & Nancy Werling wrote: > >To me the circle looks analog from the picture in the newspaper.
