Oh the irony of that quote when speaking about an Audi TT (or nearly every other Audi for that matter).
I'm not sure if I like that or not. It all looks a bit, how to put this, messy and cluttered. Not at all Audi like actually. Let's see if it reduces in size as Zermatt suggests when on the move. I agree that the rev counter and speedo are too small in this photo though.
Some pretty neat features, and having that much info is great, however surprisingly not practical IMO.
The big sat nav would be great in centre console for the passenger/copilot to help navigate, but I'm sure it would cause a large number of accidents from drivers paying too mush attention head down in binnacle.
I'd much rather go for a heads up display glass on top of dash in centre or driver side to keep eyes at road level, with speedo number, rev / power meter and then basic sat nav directions with lane markings Ala tomtom and the like. So I hope bmw continue to extend their HUD displays.
The temperature gauge heater pods are great tho

I've always thought that would be a great idea for motorcycle helmets, I'd buy one

I'm not sure, I reckon it might be pretty distracting having that on a bike. I'd much rather just a clear visor rather than cluttered with information or HUD read-outs.

There was already a story of people getting distracted while wearing google glass. It may very well be in your line of sight so you're not moving your head away, but you're still engaged with whats on the screen rather than reality. That's where the problem arises. Just like talking on the phone while driving, you're still looking ahead, but are in a world of your own.
There was a case in America last month where a woman was ticketed for wearing a pair of google glasses whilst driving (something on the grounds of driving without due car and attention) and she's been taken to court over it.
This for me opens a nice can of worms with google, the prosecutor has to prove that the device was functioning in order for it to be a distraction, this can only come from google implying that they can obviously track what, where and when you are using it.
As for the arguments about being cluttered, I didn't think it was overly so, you can see most things at a glance and if you were on a hoon, you wouldn't have a prominent Nav screen up, just the rev counter slap in the middle.
OG - hopefully, as it's using the MBQ platform, which has received good press so far in the golf GTi and A3 for handling and driving dynamics, combined with some lighter components giving the coupe a weight of around 1200 kg will give a better driving car than previous iterations. But as it will be either front wheel or four wheel drive it's not going to trouble your ideology
But I can't wait

Just wait until your Nav goes wrong and your whole dashboard needs replacing!
I bet Audi service departments up and down the country are rubbing their hands in anticipation of 3-year old TT's coming in for repair!
SARS - that made me chuckle! The S3 saloon got a rubbish write up in EVO this month. Same old criticisms I'm afraid.

That looks better
