I don't see how staring at a small screen on the dash with night vision is better than looking through the windshield. Maybe if you're a burglar with your lights off so as to not alert the neighborhood

And I didn't think BMW drivers could get any worse.... Now they put a blurry display in the center console to give a false sense of saftey.

Their not talking on their cellphones...their shouting into their bluetooths. This night vision feature is just another distraction for drivers. I think it would be better if they put in a Heads Up Display so its projected right onto the windshield.

Though I must say, I kind of like that Flex wagon. Kind of like the biggest Scion xB EVAR!
I'd bet it'd be pretty cycling (-gear) friendly. Seems very road trippy.
And at least they didn't take gubment money...
