First Sight: Audi A3 Interior Revealed at CES [w/video]

It says a lot about where the automotive industry is today that Audi chose to unveil the new A3 interior here in CES, rather than a few days earlier at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit.

The new MMI system comes with an enlarged, raised center clickwheel that is topped by a touchpad.

Bonus points for Nico Rosberg chucking a mike around like it's a hacky sack.
