Dashboard-covered-in-buttons epidemic

It's not as bad as some, but the latest Fiesta dashboard reminds me of an early 00's Nokia.

Hi, a mobile phone is exactly what Ford was thinking when they designed it. Although I think it is more Motorola clamshell...

The new Focus is like that but worse.
Trying to figure out how it all worked in the dark on a rainy autobahn was not fun

Yep the new ford dash designs are quite frankly disgusting

My GS450H has quite a few but mainly round the headunit/screen/satnav and the rest are nicely hidden away. One on the right of the steering wheel in a nice little dampned cubby and the others under the center console armrest. Very james bond..

The Tesla Model S is a HMI disaster IMO.

nothing like a nice tactile.... no wait, thats a full touch screen.

The Tesla would probably get another 50 miles range if it didn't have that!!

That's just an Audi centre console with some contours in it!

One thing I love about my car not having much in the way of 'tech' in it - Not much to push! Anything that I do need to push I can do so with a fingers length reach from the wheel. Been in a few courtesy vehicles with so many god damn buttons, most of which I would never push!

Funniest thing is the owner was whinging to me the other day that the satnav only has 4 digit postcode recognition! I mean really, on a £270K car?
