Digital gauge cluster as screens - dealbreaker?

I keep noticing that car manufacturers doing odd things with digital gauge clusters, like inToyota C-HR. To me, something like that is an instant deal breaker. I want traditional setup, ideally with physical dials. Am I being unreasonable? I do notice that on my 4Runner I watch digital speed number over actual dial. What do you think?

 

I guess it's too easy their own. I personally like the analog Guages but that's what i was brought up with. If it's a digital picture of an analog guage i guess that's fine with me.
But like the new taco sr with it being a tach with a digital speedo in the middle..nah I'm good. I won't pay for that with no way of changing it out.

I had a digital speedo only on my 88 thunderchicken. Hated it immensely. Kinda not diggin the half digital half physical dash of our new crv also. But i don't drive that daily.

 

Hmm. It’s not like the old days when the tach and speedo were cable driven and totally mechanical. The speedometer is electronic and driven by a signal from an ECU (the skid control ECU if I’m not mistaken). So it’s software driven. Whether there’s a physical needle moving or a picture of a needle moving is a matter of aesthetics.

 

I wouldn’t say a deal breaker but I would want an option to display traditional gauges. If the manufacturer does half then I would want a real tach over a real speedo.

 

This is the Digital Dash from a 1987 Nissan 300z. It ain't mine, but the first time I saw one of these in person as a kid, I was blown away.

 

Love!

 

Forreal that looks so cool
