understandable but if i had wanted alot of space, i would have picked up either a mid size SUV or SUV. myself i see having a Regular sized gauge cluster in the center that would be a distraction. but hey if you like it more power to ya, im not knocking you.

Oh I know you aren't knocking it, I am just pointing out something that was innovative and such however the Edsel was primary proof that the masses just aren't ready to be anything but lemmings or zebras...no offense. About the only thing that I don't like about the center mount cluster is that everyone becomes a "driver" because they all have their eyeballs on the damned thing. At least in my experience. I might not be as jaded about the move back to the driver's position if I didn't think that the center stack looks absolutely homely now IMHO. It is like they decided to give the masses what they wanted by moving the cluster and then went right into the bland aesthetics yet again that keep the young at heart away from Toyota now. So they do what they think is a more hip and aggressive look on the exterior and then go all cookie cutter and elderly on the inside...wtf? I mean their slogan is now, "Toyota moving forward"....pppfffttt.
