and i can guarantee you that you are correct... and also that there will be an larger lcd below it :-). There will be cheaper version without big screen, which is good, having options is very good...

Lets hope the new MFD software can show us some meaningful info for a change.. like ICE RPM, coolant temps, a sensible clock! (to replace the retro 80's version!), battery amperage, aux battery voltage...

Stuff that's worth looking at.. it's an MFD - Mutli-function display..

So, give it some function.
Oh, and if it was customisable per key holder that would be superb!

I can completely understand the argument of "information overload" which is why I favor the customizable display. I think it was Nissan who unveiled a display with something like six customizable screens showing whatever data you wanted. That way, you can have your standard Energy Screen and Consumption Screen but also have a Hypermiling screen showing key points that you mention.

hello all, can we change the start up screen on our MFD's, like changing a screen saver on our laptops????

just a thought....

(it's coming) hmmm reminds me of Chev and there prototypes. hurry up and wait is what I say..

Seriously, you are all obsessed . I hadn't looked at this post before, went to the last page, and read back through all the posts, until I got to the picture.....which is a little picture of a little screen! What a letdown!!

Just kidding....it was just kind of funny reading how hyped up everyone was in the posts without having seen the pic first.

i think its not the low res JPG but the low res pixels from the headup display like the base model hybrid camry got with out nav.
