My 1999 Saab 9-5 has both mph and km/h. Both are lit. The former is larger and green, the latter is smaller and orange.
Saabs sold in Canada do not have mph inside the speedometer, or at least did not when I was last in a Saab dealership (Brossard, Quebec, 2002).

Mercedes over the past 3-4 years seems to be getting away without it...they are mph only it looks like. I know GM has numbers only with a legend that switches between mph and km/h, but the Mercedes cars look to be mph only all the time. Makes for a suck time when driving to Canada I'm sure. My wife's old Honda Civic (I hated that car.) had both mph and km/h markings, but only MPH illuminated at night. Talk about a bozo design feature right there..... I tried to talk you out of the Honda again Nat, but to no avail. :) At 19:36 2009-02-15, STANLEY DOORE wrote:  The NIST has drafted legislation to provide for metric only product labeling. If Congress would pass it and the President sign it, there would be a great move to go all metric. If ALL people would contact their Congressional representatives, then perhaps something would happen. No single organization can do it alone. However, most companies want to go metric and many already have gone metric like the auto industry has. With the current stimulus bill recently passed and it's called a jobs bill, it would be appropriate to have all road signs changed to metric very quickly. Stan Doore
