Despite being clearly the superior aesthetic design, the numbers show it'll trail its' competitors from BMW and Mercedes (M5 and E63 S) dynamically unless everything published is seriously conservative.

I would postulate that it aligns more competitively with the M6 and the CLS 63. Slight but important difference as the chassis is different.

There is no CLS 63 anymore. Only the mild hybrid 53. The GT coupe 4 door is the CLS 63 now.

I don't follow auto development particularly closely, but I remain surprised there isn't more focus on head-up displays. I realise there will be regulatory issues, questions of safety and standards and conformity, but I'd have expected those well on the way to being solved by now.

This was particularly brought to mind by the photo of the Audi's very pretty map display: yes, the dash-screen stuff looks nice and is undoubtedly useful but why, in 2019, are we taking our eyes off the road for stuff like 'Turn left in 200 yards' or even registering a speed limit or fuel level warning?

Perhaps there are more barriers than I realise, to widespread adoption of HUD?

If you tick the HUD option, then you get the navigation prompts there.
