This is less of a "design change" as a "design flaw", and you can bet that Sony would never dream of shipping stuff without AR panels, because they know that -- DUH -- cars are exposed to the sun, the sun is bright, and the screen needs to be anti-reflective.

Just the record, my blue empeg w/o AR coating is MUCH easier to read in the sunlight then my sony cd player..
