Maybe a modern day fighter is better but they are almost all glass cockpit and so narrow they don't have a choice but to be "cozy".

Also, I've never liked the desire to point things like radios and such towards the driver in a car to the point where it is useless to the passenger. When I'm on road trips I usually have a "copilot/navigator" with me in the car that is responsible for controlling all things not directly related to driving. It's kind of hard when she can't reach them.
You're thinking of the instrument layout. I'm talking about the sculpting of the dash itself.



The center console of the MKIV wraps around through the dash and into the door panel. I'm not saying everything needs to be pointed directly to the driver and rendered useless for passengers. I'm just saying it'd be nice if the sculpting of the dash felt a bit more special than just a horizontal piece of leather slapped against a windshield
