Upon attending a recent auto show and looking at new upcoming products, I've noticed certain similar design trends in multiple manufactures. The one that stands out the most is the "phablet/tablet" type nav/info screen. I first experienced it in the new 3-Series but have seen it appear in Mazda and Audi as well. It's almost as if designers thought, lets jump on the tablet craze and permanently dock a flat screen on top of the dash. The other element I've been seeing is an evolution of circular vents. Moving from Ford type (in which the vents can be closed making a flat surface) I'm seeing articulated concentric rings within each other. Surprisingly they felt great in Mercedes and Audi. Was the latest XJ the first to use these? Guess I'm wondering why these similar designs are popping up across multiple manufactures at the same time. Did some door to door salesman land all the German luxury makes in one felt swoop? Is there some sort of convention in which all the latest ideas are presented by third parties and the manufactures jump on it?

How about a Dune color option at least?
