Do you think they will go with this LCD screen setup/location on a future model?

Maybe, but there are a lot of innovation on screen technology. Curved bendable ultra thin display that easy to put anywhere.
Most likely I think screens will end up in the front window of the car, it's safer the driver should be looking straight forward anyway.

I believe the trend will be towards what the S-class had/has, a driver-console oriented display & may be an info-tainment display for passenger (if-even).

I don't think that is the current trend. The current trend is the ones like on the CLA where it's high on the dashboard. BMW's 3 series has the same design. The thinking is that the closer it is to the windshield, the less your eyes stray from the road ahead.
