It appears to take the place of all the indicators. I think Toyota is trying to be cheap/global and put all displays in the center, with just a steering wheel and brake/accelerator on left or right hand side. That alone would be a no-buy for me, regardless of the display technology.
yeap, I'm sorry. For me that is the worst part. I HATE digital speedometers. Because the thing is, I never look directly to the speedometer to read the speed, I look at the road but I can see the angle(and the acceleration) of the stick of the speedometer and thats how I feel how fast I am.
Agreed. I've had cars with digital and analog speedometers. I hate having to read the numbers. It takes more time that a glance at the angle.
But hey, the old Prius interface really, really sucked. It showed an stupid animation of 'electricity running though pats of the car' or something. This took your eye of the road the entire time because of the motion.
