Ha - not sure "laid back" describes those 2.

Yep. Now that I have a car with a touch screen, I'm even more convinced that it's the wrong interface method for a car. Tesla has made touch screens "cool", and now any car that doesn't have one gets dinged by the press. BMW seems like the last hold out of atleast offering the control knob as an alternate control method- but I wouldn't be surprised if they ditch the idrive knob in the next few years.
