...or not.

Understandable. But it's what Ford wants us to want (because cost reduction/move to autonomous/EVs whatever) and they'll have a strategy to convince us it's a good thing. They wouldn't be the first company to skew the focus group questions in favour of their preferred outcome so they can say 'in...

Thank you they'll recover at some stage. My faith in BMW...maybe not so much.

I Googled 7 Series and spontaneously 🤮. Holy sheet, thanks for nothing :giggle: I have no words but my thoughts are 'Chinese market' ie Geely Emgrand

Yes. But big telco money wants you to be addicted to your phone. You need it...NEEEEED. AFAIK there's no enthusiasm for autonomously disabling phone screens when driving despite evidence that it contributes to auto wrecks. Incoming calls, outgoing calls, nav etc sure but nfi why anyone would...

Agree that car enthusiasts are a minority (deviant sub-culture? :giggle:) but it's a pretty big one. And folks who buy Mustangs in general are an even bigger minority (enthusiasts and non-enthusiasts). What they all have in common is the desire for the brand experience that a Mustang brings vs a...

Instead of changing the design to suit humans, they're changing humans to fit the design.

Precisely the reason a previous gen Ranger and Everest are in my driveway instead of new gen. Drove the new gen and just didn't like having to look away/down towards the floor for that long. I'll wager it's because they want you to get used to it. Big square front on the new gen ranger? EV...

Interesting 'in the wild' shots. I want to like the S650 but yes IMHO it certainly does look underwhelming, whereas the M1 looks great. Ditto the interior looks average at best, the steering wheel airbag cover looks cheap and the overhang on the rh side of the dash appears awkwardly Kenworth...

Looks impressive from those angles. Which would be applicable to someone who is approximately 3 ft tall.

Awww no love for the Stinger? Not my cup of tea but was seen by many as a good entry level performance sedan. Excellent tuning potential too. The screen was redesigned so it was larger but more integrated than the previous 'in your eye' incantation.

Interesting observation, the big central screen is what put me off the Next Gen Ranger which IIRC is lower-set than the Ram. I appreciated the benefits from a tech perspective but the bottom of the screen just seemed too low for me to be comfortable with accessing anything down there...

Hmmm and yet...the very concept was brought to you by 'boomers'. Follow them for more design tips etc. Although to be fair this dash is much more integrated than the one in the S650 :giggle:

Large central tach? It's all in the execution:
