You have to do everything via touch screen or I Drive 8.
I hope they dont do that with the G60.

I haven't seen or heard anyone on here or in my daily life give positive feedback on touch screens. It's distracting and unsettling and many people don't want to have finger prints all over their displays. This is from people I know that drive higher end cars like BMW, MB, Lexus , etc. I hope it's a fad. |
Car companies have done all sorts of studies and the evidence is that consumers do indeed prefer large touchscreens and it comes from the fact that many people like the interactions they have with their phones (my guess).
Even a guy form BMW that I met at a data science conference one time told me that people want more content and engagement on their iDrive screens - even if they don't use it. They have done studies and experiments with touch and non touch screens and non touch screens lead to lower sales etc…
Also, touch screens are more cost effective for the manufacturers…
Anyway, I don't think we'll see smaller or non touch interfaces any time soon.
My 2 cents worth.
