Barbie Girl might have been a different CD though.

Porsche don't have them on most of their wheel options. Nice and clutter free.

Yes, but I was trying to navigate the folder system!
Exactly!
Well thats your fault then. As much as I am anti-touchscreen.

Careful, Jag-man will have an anneurism if we keep on!
Landrover do it better with the configurable dials anyway

Configurable buttons is a neat idea. Would probably be cheaper and more convenient to have more buttons though.
I like buttons.
Touch screens can die in a fire. Like any driver who tries to use them when driving likely will.

You can have a mixture of the two...
A lot of the things you mentioned come under "set and forget settings" like I said.
Cameras can go in there too because you only use them when parking etc. And the camera screen can automatically come on when you put it in reverse etc.

I HAVE THE INTERNET! I HAVE DOUG DEMURO!

If all cars have that stuff soon, people will be forgetting how to drive in no time.
You’re assuming people who buy these cars can drive in the first place
shots fired!
The most common and important things on stalks. Like wiper intensity, for example.
The touchscreen in the new Disco Sport and my A6 are both fairly frustrating to use TBH. I much prefer the iDrive approach.

Touchscreens are last millennium. It's last millennium's idea of the future. But (except for mobile devices) touchscreens are pretty much dead in the IT world.
