... are ALL displays switchable between metric and FFU or only those in the countries still using FFU?

How common are these on cars?
In partial answer to Euric's question:
I'm in the USA. My new 2005 Toyota Prius (hybrid gasoline/electric) has a button that can be pushed to toggle the digital speedometer from MPH to km/h.
I was disappointed, however, to find that when the speed is switched to metric, all else stays in Ye Olde English units: odometer (both total and trip odometers) still in miles, temperature in Fahrenheit degrees, fuel consumption in miles per gallon. Bummer!
Our former Chevy Impala (2001 model) had a way to switch the displays which changed everything from Ye Olde english into Modern Metric.
