I saw it the new A8. It actually works very well in person. And in many commutes, you don't really need to see the nav (and music is probably already on the new enriched DIS). In those cases, hiding the screen gives a very clean look.

This is why I like the pop-up. It's changeable. Then again, I have the built-in cutout style in by A4 right now....so I might be biased towards whatever's different and new.



About that Profile overhang comparison....you drew the line from the tip of the 'chin'. That chin in all new Audis are way extended beyond whatever can be fairly used as point of reference for weight distribution. You need to look at detailed geometric diagrams to judge this accurately....thanks to the new pedestrian crash regulations.
