Would it kill you to make that one vent round like the others and center the screen over the center stack?

I like how they managed to place everything off-center on purpose.

I get what they’re going for, I really do. But the infotainment screen in addition to being off-center absolutely ruins the “span with one vent on each end” thing they have going on, because it’s not centered on that, either, but makes it look like there should be two vents. Delete the infotainment screen and everything is much better.

That car looks like “off center” was the engineering mantra. Shifter? Off to the right. Vents? Fuck knows what’s going on there. Speedo? Off to the right. Infotainment? Right. Aaaaaaahhhhhhh

Alternatively, make the round center vent like the other one, then move the infotainment to the left a bit.

Had a chance to talk to a Mazda designer about this when it launched. Apparently, the rationale behind it is that an unbroken line increases the impression of width. This is pretty important in a small car like the Mazda. Placing the screen lower would have broken that visual line he said.

I actually really like the style but as others mentioned I could do without the infotainment screen.

Can’t center the infotainment screen; the one round vent prevents it.

I see what you’re saying after taking a minute to find the middle, rectangular vent. The fact that the left vent is above the silver line while the other is aligned with it bothers me much more than the middle vent location or the fact the screen isn’t centered.
And now I see that the MX-5 has almost the same problem. Dammit. Not quite as bad, because of what they did with the more visible vent next to it, and the way the HVAC controls break the lower dash line, but still.

I like this idea better, but then the one round vent on the right would be oddly out of place. Unless you can see the round vent on the far left.
