Reposted from Paris Marx

Volkswagen is the latest carmaker to announce the return of physical buttons. We’re making progress.

I could actually cry, and I don't even drive!

Yessss, I've been hoping my 2008 GTI lasted long enough that they went back to real buttons before I had to replace it.

jesawyer.bsky.social•1 day ago

I'm still on my 2004 R32. All buttons all the time.

joshuaaslan.bsky.social•1 day ago

Hopefully I get another 5 years, but I was dreading the thought of having to replace it.

I understand EU car safety ratings are taking lack of physical interfaces into account as of lately, so, not entirely voluntary, but still welcome

Lol, we have been systematically replacing all the automated shit in our bathrooms at work. They waste too much soap and water! Everything old is new again….

would you get a new GTI if it had physical controls? i'm asking the same question myself tbh.

humpymcsaddles.bsky.social•2 days ago

for similar reasons as to why we had to ban pop-up lights.

A good thing, but not to their credit. They have to by law

VW ID Buzz with real buttons might change me.

Ugh but that stupid square steering wheel. Did they forget people need to operate their cars?

crajabli.bsky.social•1 day ago

Like the only annoying thing in my GTI is the lack of physical buttons, like I’m used to it now but would have preferred a few knobs

jorozco22.bsky.social•2 days ago

Round steering wheels would be amazing tho

formalplates.bsky.social•2 days ago

A step in the right direction. They should also get rid of that flat screen abomination which sticks out like that.
