That's fine, but it isn't going to happen by going back in time, rather they take a modern all digital design and just take features away. So your dash is going to still be digital, not because it is fancy, but because it is economical. You would wind up with something like: https://carnewschina.com/2017/08/08/meet-gms-cheapest-electr...

If the concern is lifetime ownership cost, repairs need to factor in as well. More analog parts, fewer features, and individual parts rather than monolithic control systems all can make a big difference in repairability.

You have to run more wires, more points of failure, more things to wear out. It is heavier, more expensive to produce, but ya, you can repair individual parts maybe without replacing the entire head unit.

All that cheap garbage does not weigh 900lbs or cost $10k, and they'd probably call it race trim and charge you more for it.
