Main reason I canceled my ID4 reservation

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.

Cool I like buttons

Edit: Why is this post yellow?

Wait, they care about what we want? That doesn't sound right.

*because they sell really bad, even in germany

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

Now if they'd just sell the baseline Golf or wagen Golf in Canada, I'd consider buying another VW!
