Consumer Reports Is On Crack!!!

CR says one of the cons of the Yaris is it's center mounted speedometer though they never mention a bad word about the Mini's center mounted Speedometer. There is room for an analog speedometer above the steering wheel and the center dash could be replaced with another storage compartment if they wanted it that way. Seeing how the lift back was styled in France and some of their high end cars have center dash instrument panels it stands to reason this was chosen for fashion. People check their side mirrors often and you never hear a complaint about their location and the center speedometer is closer to your line of sight than they are. I really don't get it. I think it takes a slightly more sophisticated eye to appreciate the Yaris than the employee pool at CR.
