The geek in me thinks this looks awesome. The car enthusiast in me thinks this will take several iterations of this before it is something useable (think MyFord Touch).

The capacitive screen should be interdasting.

I remember a long time ago when capacitive touch controls were all the rage. We had a TV with them. They really didn't work very well because people's fingers tend to be dirty and the device buttons tended to get dirty, too. So soon a touch did not work, and frustration ensued...

Reminds me of shitty Saturn Vue. GM is very creative by changing the first letter...

Looks cool and extremely distracting.

This is one of those things that looks kinda cool right now, but I wonder how it will look in ~10 years.

It's going to confused all the old people, and cause all the young people to crash their cars.

This is true with all of the new systems, and I agree. Nothing ages a car worse these days than the electronic user interfaces and features.

easier to update a UI on a flat screen than it is to replace a dashboard. 10 years down the road there may be an update to refresh the style of the older models.

That is a good point.

this is a dated cadillac dash... also a car i owned (although silver, not red) and loved. it was like sitting in a different world going from a 97 intrepid to this thing. wish it hadnt gotten stolen.

looks cool, but also incredibly distracting to both obtain information and input commands.

bmw got a lot of flak for the idrive system, but I still think its the best way (especially the newer versions) to control these infotainment systems in cars
