Gauges are worse than useless anywhere out of the driver's
line-of-sight; this includes the middle of the dashboard. You can DIE
because you looked over there. Down is even worse.

Useful items in a console? Lidded bin for tapes? Money slots? Sunnies
holder (dustproof)? Hidden CD-changer? Cupholders are a recipe for
spills...
