The UI for the driver (the primary user)> stinks. (I also hate the the zillion-function steering column multi-switch for:> turn signals, hi-low beam, wipers, cruise, sun roof, trunk and hood release,> ...) Will someone please bring back the floor dimmer switch?!? Properly positioned, they make perfect sense. My (17 year old) BMW is structured such that my left hand never, ever needs to leave the wheel when I'm driving, except for turning on the lights and the foglights, both of which are typically done when starting the car, or else they aren't. The window switches are directly under my fingers if I let my right hand fall from the wheel and land where it wants to. They are designed so that I can easily run them by touch without looking at them -- and so can my wife, from her seat. The sunroof switch is.. oddly enough... on the roof in front of the sunroof. You open the trunk by pushing the button on it when you're back there, no key needed if the car is unlocked. That multi-function monstrosity you speak of: hideous. I have 3 stalks from my wheel. None have fiddly pushbuttons or dials, they're just levers. All can be reached by stretching ones fingers out, without removing them from the wheel. Left hand side: Up for right turn, down for left turn, pull (auto return) to flash hi beams to pass, push forward to turn them on -- why would I want to interrupt my dead pedal (an important peice for performance driving) with a dimmer switch? Right side upper lever: Pull (auto return) to wash windows, controlling explicitly when it sprays and when it doeesn't rather than some preprogrammed fluid waster, push down (auto return) for mist wipe, push up for slow intermittant, further for fast intermittant, further for low speed continuous, one more notch for high speed continuous. Easy, straightforward, logical -- push up for how much wiping you want, down for less. Cruise lever below that... push up to set, down to turn off, forward to speed up, pull back to coast, all auto return. Logical, simple. This is 20 year old engineering, and I haven't seen a more logical setup anywhere. North American cars are finally appearing with some of these control concepts instead of this laughable multi-function trees. These simplistic controls are simpler to use in the dark and by touch, more durable and less complex. Sometimes you just don't have to try as hard as you might think for good design. The point of all these design ideas is to keep the driver's hands on the wheel and eyes on the road, rather than looking at or fussing with controls. -Russ
