Good to see that there is a new center-dash storage compartment on the non-Nav cars. The old style tray was annoying...it dumped things on the console and floor the moment you hit the gas pedal. I modified mine with a velcro-stick tray that held things securely.

Thank goodness no BMW-style I-Drive, right? Audi, unfortunately, is starting to follow in the I-Drive's footsteps with its own video-game system.
