[s-cars] Q7 ramblings

[LL - NY]

IMHO,

If you have to qualify one bad thing by saying it's not as bad as another,
it's still bad.

Give me knobs. I even thing the buttons with display on the good "old
fashioned" CCH for
the UrS/type 44 is a bit stupid. You need to actually look at the display IF
you want a
specific temp (I guess it's somewhat intuitive if you go with "I'm cold,
press the top of
the temp buttons, I'm hot, press the bottom"). FWIW, although setting temps
isn't as
precise, the knob with pointer Climate Control in the Saabaru requires much
less driver
attention.

Let these computer interface devices go the way of the digital
speedometer....
