I hope that by next year that infotainment screen folds down and hides away. Worst part of the interior. I didn't realize it didn't have a normal glove box untill I sat in one this past Wed. What the hell is the logic in that?

At the very least I hope the aftermarket comes up with a solution for deleting/hiding that screen. That would be such a good looking dash if it wasn't for that. I also hope it's not going to be too involved swapping out the steering wheel.

I'd really like to own one at some point in my life, but not one of these first years.

I completely agree with Jamie. I will ditch the infotainment screen in the trash

One other thing. The CD drive for the radio is between the seats where the storage compartment is.

So, whether you want to grab something out of the storage compartment, or oddly enough, you want to swap CDs out while driving, you're going to be doing it blind and in an awkward manner. And if you do decide to use your eyes to do so, you'll be doing so at higher risk than just glancing down to the passenger side of the car.

As is, it doesn't seem like the ND is going to be aftermarket radio friendly at all.

Who needs radios? or Cds?

A CD player is like having a cassette player last decade. I would love to see cars fitted with SSDs and centerstack touch screens for controls.
