Speed in KMs , Temps in Farenheight?

I don't think it's possible, I think the only option is one or the other...
does it come in a different finish?
My C5 and C7's were both all metric or all imperial. Guessing the C8 is the same.
You can change to Imperial settings on the OnStar app. I have to do that to set the proper tire pressures. I'm old school and still hate the metric system.

Same here. Ideally I would want the speed and odometer in metric and everything else in standard. I can do this on my F150. Just used the onstar app like you said and my tires are all at almost 40 psi after I switched to standard. I will fix that today.
I remember when PET forced metric on us back in the 70's. Said the states was going that way and we had to keep up with them. What a joke. They are still using Imperial 50 years later. All of us mechanics at work had to buy two sets of tools to work on machines even though we mostly used Imperial.
Everyone has different experiences. I've wrenched on cars for 40 years and use my metric tools 99.9% of the time. The fact that Canada went metric just means we can work in both systems, an advantage in today's technical world.
I personally like the metric system, but I also like the imperial system for some things like PSI for tire pressure.
I would love to be able to select which system to use for each display on the C8, perhaps that will happen if enough people chime in on it.

The U.S. was supposed to go metric, but the great unwashed shouted too loudly.
Just like they refuse coins as money higher than a quarter and they still like pennies.

I am sure there are others, but I can't think of any other country other than the US that still uses imperial.
LOL. Even the creators of the system don't!
UK does. Quite a few people live over there as well.... so, a large population of the world still like imperial measurements.
The US and UK combined make up a little more than 5% of the earth's population, based on 2020 figures. I'm kind of shocked after doing the math, I figured it to be a lot more.
Not quite.
Britain is officially metric, in line with the rest of Europe. However, imperial measures are still in use, especially for road distances, which are measured in miles. Imperial pints and gallons are 20 per cent larger than US measures.
Yes, however, having worked and lived over there, you would never know they use the metric system at all... .LOL. They are a funny lot.
Funny, Just like Canadian Corvette owners
The US has to use two sets of wrenches as well now. I dont think GM is building Corvettes (or any other venicle) with 2 different sets of fasteners....all metric now as far as i know.
