Imagine paying the same price for a car that lacks the technology of:
-
Smart screen
-
- With heat resistant materials that are designed to resist high temperatures and still function properly (i.e in summer times)
-
- With GPS features, and media access
-
But the screen still sucks because you can literally buy a magnet and stick your phone there, and still be able to do literally everything a smart screen car do.
I mean id still buy it because I prefer cars that are not so impractical, but it's a shame that it still costs practically the same.
Conceptually, a smart screen sounds like a good idea, but the implementation is bad.
I'd rather have a "non-touch" screen with buttons in a car. Just to show info. And be it right in front of me.
*because they sell really bad, even in germany
there should never be a fucking touch screen menu in a car for any reason

Infiniti not updating their interior since 2014 is starting to feel like a good thing as other brands abandon buttons.
Nice to know VW is returning to sanity
