Dear Ford,

I will stick with real gauges even if it means driving a 20 year old car

Your 20 year old car had digital gauges too. They just moved a mechanical needle so they looked mechanical, but it was all digital to the cluster. Now they are just replacing the cluster with a LCD.

Those gauges are still working after 20 years though. Will that be the case for the LCD?

I've had to replace instrument clusters due to the gauges failing. In fact I've had two different vehicles that needed to have work done to repair/replace physical gauges. Generally speaking, moving parts will fail more often than solid state things.
