Does anyone prefer the digital gauges to real ones? I’m rabidly allergic to the screen-based car controls, and I feel like I see a lot of that in the comments here and in conversation with friends and relatives.

Where is the pro-digital-control constituency hiding out? Surely the manufacturers wouldn’t be going so hard this way if market research bore out quite that degree of resistance.

My CR-V has a digital main cluster. It's much smaller than Ford is introducing, just replacing the bit behind the steering wheel. I have found that I greatly prefer having the exact speed displayed digitally rather than as a typical speedometer. It's just much easier to register my speed at a glance while driving. It also has screens for showing me how well I'm driving with regards to re-charging the hybrid's battery, which is useful.
