Generation Y buyers are also interested in cars packed with technology, including smartphone integration and touch-screen interfaces, according to the Los Angeles Times. With systems like MyFord Touch and the Tesla Model S’ iPad-like touch-screen center stack, automakers have already started to address this in the market, but most reviewers say there’s lots of room for improvement. In particular, Ford’s MyFord Touch system has been panned for its labyrinthine setup, hard-to-use controls and buggy software.

Let me translate it from journal-ish. They said they’d like fuel data and music in their smartphones because in-car touchscreen ui is utter bullshit.
