I hate any car that has the odometer in the center and not behind the steering wheel.

The sheet of glass above the sterring wheel is a heads up display that projects your odometer on to it.

Perfect for the sun to hit and reflect into my eyes, it's not covered with a brim

Also see through so the sun can flood through 

This makes more problems for the sake of "new and cool" instead of safe and reliable 

It's like a new game releasing each year to cash grab. Instead a thought out sequel that released years later out of love

FWIW, I've driven a car with a HUD in a very sunny climate for the past 2 years, and haven't had any of the issues you've described.

Thank goodness, at this point I expect negligence on the design teams for these cars

Please enjoy your car, happy holidays!

How? It’s literally less distance to view, and you can see what’s going on in front of you in your peripheral vision better

I love the HUD. One of my cars have it and I always feel worse driving my other car which doesn't have it.

What a weird thing to care about where it is placed. Now the speedometer, I agree being in the center is absurd.

Speedo is on a hud which includes speed limit, upcoming turn if nav is running and track list controls if listening to Spotify etc

Sure, but the primary speedometer, in this video and historically in MINI vehicles, is in the center.

It's a mini thing

Tesla brought on that trend and the world copied.

They also brought on that trend of having to awkwardly pull open a door handle with two motions
