[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is the equivalent of someone 30 years ago asking what new car they can buy that you can manually crank the windows. [/quote]

Not really.  It's pretty well documented that there's pushback from buyers on going to screens and menus, and some manufacturers are looking to bring back more buttons and knobs.  To me, a better analogy would be those horrible motorized seatbelts that were all the rage back in the earl '90s.  Those didn't stick around, did they?[/quote]

Perfect analogy. It turned out that those motorized seatbelts were actually more dangerous because people often would forget or choose not to use the lap belt, which was still manual. The motorized seatbelt was effective only if both were used. Presumably good intentions and all, but it turns out that it was very poor design. Same will happen with the touchscreens to the total exclusion of buttons. I think the Mercedes solution a PP mentions above is likely to end up being the right answer; people want a combo of screen and buttons. [/quote]
