From the GM-released pic of the Saturn Sky's interior. Who else here is a grammar tool?

I dunno about the grammatical error, but if I am understanding things correctly, the gauge cluster is just a big LCD screen--there are no actual dials or gauges. Well I hope they can figure out how to make this thing work in the winter! I've had my laptop in the car overnight before and it easily got down to -10 degrees. The reaction of the LCD was so slow and blurry that it was worthless until it was warmed up to room temperature.

What.. nobody got this yet?
"It's" is not possessive. It should read:
"Its graphics include a secondary center stack info display."
EDIT: Oops.. missed dork's comment as I was scrolling down..

The correct answer is it's! (I consider "thru" in the same category as writing "lo" and "hi" on the A/C switches)
For this flagrant grammatical error there can be no leniency! I sentence the offending GM designer to one week of driving a Pontiac Aztek!

It's is contraction for it is, like other wise ones have pointed out.

Let's not get in to the other spelling 'mistakes' - well, they are from a British point of view

You think that's bad? Let an engineer try to verbalize it!!!
Re: Catch the GM designer's grammatical error! (uncleho)

ok, as a designer in training (going to school) i would just like to say you guy have way to much time on your hands. i know when i'm doing drawings the callouts are but mere icing on the cake
and i would have also used thru instead of through

Chrysler was famous for its 'gage' labels. But then their cars also said that a 'door' was a 'jar'.

My wife's Dad had Chrysler New Yorker (the turbo K-car one) that was originally owned by a guy in Quebec. It had an oil burning problem and this female voice constantly kept repeating 'L'huile est basse'.
