RWD brickster moving to AWD - what do I need to know? XC

I presently have 3 bricks as daily drivers and have posted before with XC questions. I've been considering an '05 to '07 XC70 (I don't like the new ones, or their reliability) if I can get over the luxury hump as well as the road feel. A recent concern has been the curved, continuous dash--no line of demarcation like on the new ones. With a taupe interior, the upper dash near the windshield is taupe, and seems to create a lot of reflected light. The new ones all have matte black upper dashes, regardless of interior color. I had an '86 745 which had a light colored upper dash and it was a PITA. I had to put a dark colored folio on dash in front of the driver to cut down on glare, especially on trips. Has anyone had a problem with this or seen it discussed? With all the curves, I doubt setting something dark up there would work. Something velcroed on for trips would work, but not sure I like that kind of workaround on a $20K car.
