Ummm, Volkswagon has had this feature for at least 15 years.  I'm NOT
recommending VW, just pointing out that this feature is not new.  On
our '70 (?) van, however, I *think* the marks indicated maximum RPM,
(since back then gas was 28 cents a gallon :-)).  Same for the 79 rabbit.
I don't know about the newer cars.

Oops, sorry, it's not a car, it's a Volkswagon.
