MMD has been brainwashed by the media to hate buttons. But if you take out the fancy radio (PCM) on the 997, the button count is remarkabley similar to the 60's 911 he keeps posting.



I dunno about brainwashed, plus "hate" is completely wrong.

First thing that comes to my brain is a nightmare where Porsche is "focus grouping" and finding out the _average_ buyer wants lots of buttons and guages and computer screens (and wings, and big wheels, etc etc).

Second thing which comes to mind is my latest digital camera has a touch screen and is very well thought out. It has three or four buttons! BMW idrive notwithstanding, CLEARLY, dozens of buttons on a car dash is about to look verrrry antiquated.

So, WTF are all those buttons doing in our cars? Last I counted, even though I have nav, about five (?) of them DO NOT DO ANYTHING!

I have very functional-looking buttons which DO NOT FUNCTION! That's gotta be a new low for Porsche.

Just blabbing, not getting too serious.
