If there is a concern about people looking down at it for NAV then a heads-up display fixes that.



EDIT: Wrong car, same idea.

That just goes back to the pre-tablet screens.

What would a heads up display look like?

Edit: I guess they could do a heads up display with music, navigation and calling. That seems reasonable to get the main screen down. I would probably prefer this over a digital Audi dash.

I don’t agree. To be precise, I don’t consider either to be very premium as I understand the term.

Completely subjective, but despite (or maybe because of) its outdated design (real gauges, infotainment down in the centre stack etc) I prefer the design of the Z interior (as a sportscar cabin) to the Supra (which just doesn’t look very sporty to me).

My favourite interior of the ones posted, however, has to be the Boxster/Cayman - I think Porsche nailed it in terms of a genuine premium sportscar cabin - elegant, driver focussed, uncluttered, timeless design. The TT is also beautiful inside. The others are all too fussy, awkward, or incorporate short term design trends (e.g. poorly integrated tablet style infotainment) that will quickly age their interiors.

The new heads-up in the Cadillacs will have a two layer heads up display that projects GPS nav so it appears to be actually on the road, and other information in front of it. Couldn't find a good picture of it though.

Speaking of modern design, if you don't like the above I do like the approach in the new Escalade. It is similar to the "on top" design but everything looks more traditional from the driver's seat and things that should be real buttons are real buttons.

I'll lose the race by a couple of car lengths to save half the money, no shame there.

As far as the Supra, well talk about bringing a knife to a gun fight.....

This is really just three screens, a driver information screen on the left, the instrument console where the instruments should be, and the infotainment screen on the right. All of those are available in pre-2021 vehicles as well, just not as well presented as it is here, in my opinion.

Might as well have brought a Miata. For the price of a base Corvette, people are running 9’s. For 911 money, the Corvette and Supra would slay the 911.

"Just moments before the crash, she posted several videos of herself on Instagram posing in the yellow vehicle and captioning it 'Imma kill it on the high way'."

Well, she wasn't wrong. What a waste of life.

Supposedly it wasn't even her car. The story goes while her friend was in the restroom she and another guy took the keys for a joy ride. She was behind the wheel speeding and lost control.

I dunno. The article says this:

Stephanie Angelica Vasquez also showed herself getting work done on the car.

But who knows what she was about:

The mother was charged with driving under the influence of alcohol, transporting a loaded handgun in a vehicle, and possession of a firearm by a prohibited person.

Not a model citizen, but sucks for them and any kids left without parents. I don't see a Supra on her Instagram.

The cop said the car didn't belong to either one of them, but I don't think they stole it. Pretty stupid to make a vid of yourself driving a stolen car. The internet mumble of it being a friend's car seems the most plausible.
