I think most of the newer model cars will be like that if not all. Because before in dash navigation became the norm the radio and hvac controls were all pretty much in the middle of the dash, with the vents at the top. And I'd guess to put the nav at the top of the dash would require a major re-design of the front dashboard. Something they'd probably reserve for the next new model entirely. That's just my guess tho.
