Renault, in its redesigned Twingo (appropriately named New Twingo), is offering an option it calls "Grass-mat" dashboard trim. Essentially, it's a toothbrush turned bristles-up that holds all those gadgets we love so dear in our cars. The rubber fingers sit in a divot in front of the steering wheel, looking much like an abnormally blue sea anemone ready to coddle your Nemo-like iPod in motionless safety. No more digging under the seat for the phone that went flying in turn three, no unsightly Velcro on dash and phone, no more mining the seats for change at the toll booth. Genius. [via autoblog] this is kind of cool imo, i often want to put my MP3 player somewhere without it getting tossed around/scratched. However, if this thing is completely attached to the dash and cant be removed it would get pretty dusty and gross over time. Also the blue color stands out too much, it would probably look better in black. Still.. yay for innovation.
its not only gonna hold hand devices.. its gonna hold sticky liquids, dust and nasty things too... lol
Hrmmm..... I wonder if it's going to be one of those things the inventor gets rich off of. No more stuff sliding off the dashboard, I hope it's removalable so it can be washed from time to time.
ewwwwwwwwww...i don't like it. looks like the dashboard has a disease or something. making me itchy...ewwwwww
