In that case, you're not wrong; but as per the original topic, touchscreens are also not your issue.

No, and it is *glorious*.

The only electronic thing on the whole dashboard is the clock, and it's never worked.

At a guess, the controls that you do use, you could probably work with your eyes closed (or eyes on the road, it amounts to much the same thing)

Some of those old Citroën dashboards were mental (in a good way).

In a crowded field of craziness I'd personally have to place the Citroën Visa high up as bonkersiest of the bonkers.

Happy to hear other nominations though.

Think the facelifted GSA "Star Trek" dashboard was my favourite.

I liked the control clusters it had instead of stalks.

Yes! Now that was a car with personality.

If I owned one of those I'd feel obliged to make myself a mix tape with Jean-Michel Jarre, Cerrone and Desireless.

I can just see me rocking up at the pub with Voyage Voyage drifting out the sun roof.
