I'm pretty sure, and I could be mistaken, that the Axiom dash is just a newer Rodeo dash with a center "add-on" piece and new center console between seats. I don't see why it would be hard at all to make something that just covers the middle and flows into a new console between the seats... something that can use the OEM DIN spaces and not have to re-engineer DIN spots for radio, air, and whatever else. It would save on money and, well, look better.
Now, center console wise (between the seats), I like the sound of something higher and flowing up to meet the center dash piece. You see them more often in concepts and they seem to never make it to the production.
Just a side note... you've seen the new Volvo S40 center console, right? It's only like 2" think... not a lot of "WOW" stuff on it or anything, but it's kinda like a metal "waterfall" from the dash:
Maybe you can do something like this Honda concept?
