      You can feel for a knob or for a lever without taking your eyes off of the road. You can't do that with a menu on a touch screen.

      Secondly, replace a knob and see what it costs. Now, replace a touchscreen and see what it costs.

      I love steering wheel mounted controls. Stereo volume, Siri, etc.

      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

        Yeap. Also seeing a trend where the on-dash infotainment screens get larger and larger. I have seen on-dash screens larger than an iPad Pro. Not that I have anything against large information screens per se, but the manufacturers put in these big screens without sufficient anti-glare treatment — it’s just dangerous for the driver if a blinding ray of sunlight gets reflected into your eyes from one of those giant screens.

            Yes, car makers to want to make things "look modern" just because they can, without thinking weather or not is really is an improvement.

              That is the one of the biggest POS car interior designs, I have ever seen.

              It's almost not a design at all.

                        It looks like something designed by an engineer rather than a designer.

                        Which probably explains it.

                        I was only joking
