If Honda is "bucking a trend" here it just shows how much professionals, experts and decision-makers can be fooled by trends.
I speculate that Tesla made it something other luxury brands wanted too, and then those brands went bezerk: E.g. the newest Range Rover models feature multiple touch screens, they turned your AC-control-knobs into touch-screens as well, and even the once-handy controls on your steering wheel. What's the point then of still having a phisical gear shift?
I applaud Honda for making common sense an official statement again. I ditched the newest lineups of all new premium brands (also) because of that touch-screen nonsense and choosed a cheaper brand instead where it's at least just one touch device.
Premium brands still don't seem to get how un-premium a dashboard full of thumbprints and smudges looks like, even less if everything else has a piano finish.
- fastball 7y agoI thought TSLA was doing it because they want self-driving now and this makes it easier.
- woodpanel 7y agoI didn't meant TSLA as a part of premium brands. Rather that TSLA using those large touch screens in their Model S, I think, to a large part drove premium brands into buying into touch screens as a trend. BTW installing a large touch-screen under the premise of soon-to-be fully self-driving vehicles in 2013's Model S has to be a loooong waiting for "making it easier" ;-) But I guess the car-makers touch screen folly might be even more attributable to the impact the iPhone made at that time.
