Well I'm really surprised. XF has always seemed to be pragmatic rather than dictatorial.
Maybe it's changing.
It's a bit like going to a car manufacturer and asking for the driver's seat to be redesigned with a swivel base:
Them: "Why? Surely it works okay as it is doesn't it?"
You: "No, it doesn't work for me. I drive my car backwards everywhere and I end up with a stiff neck as a result! I'd like the drivers seat for all of your cars to have a swivel base so I can drive them backwards with ease!"
Them: "Are you serious?"
You: "Yes. Oh, and whilst we're at it, can you put an extra steering wheel in the back too please to stop my arms hurting?"
Now, okay, it's not quite
that bad, but when the solution to the problem is ... Turn around and drive it forwards like everyone else!!! ... it does mean that if you don't it is really
your problem and not the car manufacturer's.
Joking aside, I think there
is room for improvement, especially as the
What's New? feature works so well on XF that a lot of our members use it by default - you just need to define what you think would be a good "fix" for this and create a suggestion thread so that others can support it if they think it's a good idea too.
I'm going to do the same with the post I've made above - just to put the idea "out there" and see if it captures anyone else's imagination (
done).
Cheers,
