The viewing angle was far more restricted on the original design, and I worked extremely hard with the designers to fix the problem just days before the moulding tool had to be signed off. After many CAD simulations, and physical testing of a new SLA model, I was completely satisfied with the resultant design.

Our A-Class demonstrator has the worst viewing angle of any car I've personally seen, with the stereo near the floor, and the driver in a high seating position. The display JUST clips the top leftmost character, and I'm rather tall so that's worst case.

I'm sorry your car has an even worse viewing angle, but when you talk about really bad design it does rather sound as if the blame should be shared with your car manufacturer!
