Most carmakers seem to be navigating toward putting everything on a large touch screen. I am sure it is cheaper that way. BUT...I want buttons and switches for those features which I tend to use while actually doing what a car was designed to do: driving. That means radio volume (not critical if, like my BMW the car has a button on the steering wheel), ac, seat adjustments, driving mode, answering the cell phone. Putting these features on a touch screen where I have to take eyes off the road is a horrendous step backwards.
While I am not averse to questioning BMW decisions, such as the bugs bunny grills and the M235i, this one seems to be an industry wide trend. Just read a review of the forthcoming MB S series and it is going that way also.
So my challenge (which will go unanswered and unnoticed) to all carmakers is: STOP THIS MADNESS!
