So basically the vast majority of 3 series will be sold without HUD and it will still be more expensive feature for feature compared to the IS.
Wrong about the GS. HUD is available for GS350 petrol version. You need only visit the 4GS forums to encounter GS350 owners with HUD.

For 2013 GS, it is part of the highest packages for GS350 AWD (technology and technology plus) and GS450h (technology) in Canada.

One thing I'm a little annoyed about with the options on the 3IS is that the All Weather package is only available on AWD models. I want a heated steering wheel on a RWD! I had a heated steering wheel on a Maxima, and at first I thought it was just a cool but not needed feature. Then I couldn't imagine life without it. Oh how we get spoiled.

I'll answer it : very very few in this compact luxury segment.
In that case, how would it influence their car buying decision? Is there anyone who would say : " I'm buying the 3 series just because it has the availability of HUD EVEN THOUGH there's no way in a million years I'm actually getting the HUD option ( if I have to pay $1000 for it.)
That would be truly twisted logic....

I guess my point is : how many complaining about lack of availability of HUD would actually pony up the extra $1000 for the HUD option in the German cars?

Gimmicks
The reason you buy a Lexus is for the gimmicks. Credit card remotes, LCD dash, electric curtains, headlight washers, lighted sills, reclining rear seats, self parking, memory and heated everything, mouse for your display.
If I didn't want the toys, I would just drive a Corolla.

If you want a HUD, use your iPhone. Just turn on your favorite app and put the phone face up on the dashboard in front of you!
