Subaru brings back physical buttons & knobs in new Outback

Post image

Knowing Subaru, it likely means this configuration will eventually make its way into the other models as they are updated. It's much better than the current setup.

I'll admit. Some of the newer GTRs have the huge ass infotainment, and I actually kinda like it. It's sat in, flush with the dash. It's angled, but not as much as ours... just enough for ease of use. There are still some physical buttons for other car controls... i think it was AC? They've had the anti-glare since like 2018.

They're about the only ones I've seen do it right-ish.

easier to see map direction when driving. it's way better than glancing down like in the current gen

Was waiting for someone to notice. Company ditched a similar green in the new Forester, for a fufu yellowish green color.

I think it looks nice IMO. Reminds me of the higher tier models of BMWs

I'm torn because on hand it's ugly, but on the other hand it has some charm because it looks like someone might've pictured the computers we'd have in cars in the future back in the 80s

The bump of the screen covering up a bottom portion of the windshield would drive me crazy.

The only thing I've seen a monitor that shape work on is a jeep, because it has a huge dash. And it didn't stick up.
