Really I think the opposite .Not natural looking to right for speed , revs etc
And more importantly the radio stuffed up in the roof.
I find the new ones impossible to change from DAB to FM and to make it play from phone music is a nightmare to sort 🙈

Is there any big changes apart from fancey LED lights just watched some of a release video and it showed nothing really
New steering column, new design shuttle lever, new interior colour, dash moved to pillar with more functions and settings. Drl on front bonnet. Faster range change. That's what i remember from the launch video

Really hope this catches on among all brands, few things that are such an easy chance to do that annoys me so much as having the dash behind a steering wheel...
Some makes/models do manage to do display in front of the steering wheel so much worse than others. I wouldn't mind A pillar display, so long as it I still have a needle rev counter.

Some do it better than others sure but it'll never be as good as a pillar mounted dash.

It's just a matter of habit, much like getting used to a CVT for the first time.. And just as with a CVT everything else will feel like a step back.

When driving on the road a pillar mount is better because it is much closer to where you are already looking and it is much easier to shift focus horizontally compared to vertically.
On the field it is much easier to go from looking out the back window to looking at the pillar than it is to go all the way back to the steering wheel.

And last but definitely not least the pillar mounted dash will never be obstructed by the steering wheel.
