The pop-up NAV screens are just so "after thought" kind of looking to me. I know it's sometimes not easy to design a static screen into a dash when you have to squeeze so much, but the "pop" goes the weazle look is just... ugh.

Makes me always think they drew in the dash, then realized "oh crap, forgot to put in the NAV." ha ha.

 

I completely disagree.

Why deal with the glare, etc. if you're not using the nav? I think having it disappear when you're not using it is good ergonomics, aesthetically pleasing and much easier on the eyes.

But that's just me.

 

I understand what you're saying.

Same idea goes with the SC430...

 

Or just dont get the Navi, but it looks funny and empty. (its a storage compartment)

 

Just saw one at my dealer today (Keyes). It looks as bad in person as it does in pics. I don't care how much tech they put into it. If it looks like a Corolla, I'm not interested.
