Default Too many buttons ...

I think porsche took the center console control too far. How do you even keep the buttons clean ? God forbid you eat a cookie in the car.

I was at Porsche and they said it's all going to touch like in the new Panamera.

Yeah, I had a '16 Cayenne as a loaner recently and my wife said the same thing when she got in it.."Wow, lots of buttons.."

The whole "spartan" look is out the window.

My wife's Cayenne S has that...At first, it does look like a lot, but after you learn them they seem tame. I personally like her dash/console etc..

I'm ok with all the buttons because I think you get used to them. I'm not sure I like the smooth face "touch" buttons however. I think you need to actually look at the buttons (instead of feel) which will cause to take your eyes off the road.

Do not like touch buttons. no tactile experience. in my cayenne i can hit anything w/o looking. its a lot, but intuitive.

Saw the new Panamera a week ago - very nice display with touch and all black glass, but as noted above, you will have to look down to figure out what the heck you are looking for. Insanity rules. Or you could have Jeeves driving the land yacht anyways.
