I'm a big fan of the bridge style center console so that things can be stashed out of sight below, and other stuff can be placed above where it's easily accessible.

Wish this car was hideous so I could get it at discount at some point in the future.
I've always found the bridge style center to make a cabin feel cramped. I don't have kids though, and don't keep masses of things in my cars.
