I like the cameras like they used to have on the Xsaras, mounted on top so you get a good view of the road ahead.
I remember they had bumper cameras in Finland one time and then they destroyed it by putting their silly information graphic right in front of the road surface, where all of the interest was, so that all you could see was a bit of sky and a few trees whizzing past.

How did we survive without half our windsceens blocked say 10-12 years ago.
Where will be the logical end of this increasing trend?

I agree that it was better when you could see out of the car through the windscreen, seeing the driver at work on the wheel and gearstick. That's another thing, It's said that they have to keep the cost's down nowadays, and still they insist on having electro/hydraulic paddle shifters.

The best in-car video I saw, in terms of quality, interest of stage and position of camera, was on the 2006 Monte with Gilles Panizzi in the Škoda Fabia WRC. Great view from between the seats, with the dash and steering wheel visible. The stage started on dry tarmac before climbing into the mountains where there was snow and ice. Gilles had to use all his skill to keep the car on the road. The video is in widescreen format, and you can even see me on the inside of a hairpin!
I've not seen anything as well-filmed, or as exciting in terms of the stage, since.

Isn't high quality.
Watching the "in car specials" isn't watching live, that's not what I'm trying to say, I'm saying it's atleast proper in car footage.

Bumper cams are extremley boring, as are the sounds of modern WRC cars.

I kindda like that camera that shows the tire and damper working during the stage (specially good in Finland) ok you cant see the road ahead but still that view is quite interesting
It was on qualifying stage, he rolled the car and it was said that he won't be able to start the rally. But team managed to repair the car and he did start and dominated drivers like Rossel, Gryazin...
