drod, I think that would be a huge step in the wrong direction.

Touch screen = fingerprints = dirty screen

But the bigger issue is safety - a touchscreen requires the driver to divert more attention from the road by sitting up to reach the screen. (I have one in my other car - Japanese - and its a PITA)

If this new i-drive menu system is more efficient, it could be the best of both worlds.......maybe
