Yep...he's right on the money. The "better for forward sight" thing is bull. Personally I hate the central-mounted clusters...it's like putting the gas pedal on the left and the brake on the right; interesting concept, but it just doesn't work. Saturn seems to think it works though, as the idea is appiled to the Ion. Sorry, but it only gets raspberries from me
