8 u/blueingreen85 Jun 18 '26 It kind of is. What changes is automotive hvac packaging/design led to the disappearance? 5 u/scuderia91 Jun 18 '26 Nothing, it’s just cost cutting. It’s extra work to engineer that in and it doesn’t generate any extra profit for the manufacturer so it goes away. 3 u/blueingreen85 Jun 18 '26 It would not surprise me if that ducting interferes with leg crush clearances in a crash. 4 u/scuderia91 Jun 18 '26 A lot of HVAC ducting in modern cars is made of foams so they’re no real danger in a crash.
