Sounds interesting. I don't think the drive had much to do with the dash and switchgear though as they have adequate testing facilities at You Yangs for that.
It would probably have to be something mechanical. Perhaps they should have gotten the windows tinted before going for a drive?
More than likey a test bed for the new AV gear. Sounds bloody interesting though. I just have one question. What the christ was it doing around Port Melbourne? That's Holden country...
It was most likely a test mule for the AV, but what got me most interested is that the person who saw it said that the dash was nice and rounded which is a bit odd considering the AV is probably getting an Audi look.

I think what came to mind is the VW group look in particular AUDI because it
had the TV Screen in it ,maybe it was a upmarket model like a Fairmont or
something???There was alot of wires everywhere maybe that dual cab Falcon
Ute that has been doing the rounds is an indication of what is coming?????
Yes it looked good but so does the current AU11 dash with the aluminum look
IMHO.
