Re: TFT display
Quote:Quote:
I wonder why they scrapped the TFT display? Durability, complexity, cost?
....the TFT doesn't look very original, I even think that it looks ugly.
Just to make it look more sporty and classic, they made it just analog. (at least, that is what I think)
I actually liked the TFT screen and Ferrari uses a similar screen on the Enzo. The Porsche TFT screen was able to change design on the push of a button, from classic to modern to whatever somebody programs into it.
The reasons why they changed it are rumored to be cost, reliability and visualibility and most important: some very important customers didn't seem to like it, I wonder why?!

Re: Here's a pic...
The spin on the C-GT shifter position is that it falls to the hand better way up high . Maybe so, but it reminds me of recent Toyota minivans . Ergonomically, it doesn't make sense . Instead of shifting with your right shoulder quiet at your side and your elbow at 90 degrees with the lower knob , some drivers will have to constantly lift their shoulder away from the body and suspend the elbow to shift -it could get tiring in certain situations.

Agree totally. While the top of the knob on the 917 may resemble the CGT knob the position certainly doesn't.
