Did they change the center console, or is it still a crappy old LCD for radio?

Everything else on the car is the same except there are now two cupholders instead of 3 and the USB port is where the old cupholder is. Also there's a passenger armrest but that came out for the 2014 models.

Future Abarth owners will actually be able to tell how fast they're going! That display looks really cool, but functionally that's the most important thing.

Shame. I'd be curious to see what all the center of the instrument cluster shows as far as radio stuff.

I know, I know, just drive and don't worry about infotainment. But for the amount of time I'm in my car I really like having a nice, clear, and attractive display for radio controls and the like.

The current radio controls are fairly simple and easy to use, but Fiat owners do have an aftermarket option for infotainment/navigation stuff:
