Where is this? I am seeing a growing resurgence of buttons and knobs in recently built cars. And I have the impression of reading somewhere conventional controls are to be mandatory again because the screen based controls pose a distraction for driving.

As I walked out of my house, I made a conscious effort to take a peek on a few cars parked by the sidewalk and although many had the central console LCD installed, all had buttons and knobs to ajust and turn on and off things.

I'm in Europe.

Now I'm going to be on the look for the full LCD central console.
