I see main problem with new cars like EV6, Ioniq 5, Ioniq 6, etc that these are still gonna get CCNC old slow infotainment. To be honest, it would make me go for another car brand. Why would you want to buy a car for 60k EUR and get old sluggish infotainment knowing they are delivering Pleos even to cheaper Ioniq 3?

I hope it's not as terrible as it sounds.
Screens in cars are nice for navigation, but I want most of my controls to be physical, mechanical switches and knobs.
More comfortable, safe, and intuitive to use..

One less vehicle to choose from. I'm NOT a fan of these huge tablet "infotainment system"
screens!
To easy to distract your attention from operating your vehicle, while you search for the exact
place to touch, so you can change a radio station, adjust the climate controls, answer a phone
call etc.
With knobs, buttons & dials, it's much easier to keep your eyes on the road, and to fumble around
until you find what you want.
I had read on another news site, where due to liability issues, some auto makers are ditching the
touch screen and going back to knobs/dials/buttons.
The touch screen from an engineering design point is probably easier than manufacturing a
panel/dashboard with buttons and what not, but it is a lot safer!
