Marketing - Marketing / Market Research / Market research questionnaire
Spanish term or phrase: abombamiento
Unfortunately there is not much context, as I only have the answers (and not the questions) to a market research questionnaire on the package design of a GPS device.

"No me convence el abombamiento superior"

Any ideas??
