They won’t age well either. Like an Apple Watch, who wants a first gen now? Yet pick a Swiss mechanical watch from 40 years ago and it’s still desirable. Timeless (no pun)
Agreed, I took a walk with the family down at the lakeside last night and while waiting at a cross walk a new and blingy Benz vert with the top down was waiting for green next to us. The gauges and infotainment displays in full view. Honestly that looked like complete sh*t and not like a car cockpit at all. More like a control center of a production site. Flat and bright screens, nasty.

But that’s all what it is, just an eye sore aesthetically and not a functional issue. Apple Watch vs an automatic mechanical Swiss watch. One is emotionally superior the other functionally superior. I’m ok with either but prefer the analogue.
