It's not just that car, it's a lot of new cars. Minis have a ton of buttons (although I would guess most are optional), I've driven a new Ford Focus and that was also loaded with buttons. The Ford Flex is awful. It has a ton of 'buttons' but they're not physical. The entire center console is like a touch panel so you can't even reach over and feel for the right button while keeping your eyes on the road - you actually have to look over at the radio to find the button and then 'press' it and hope it registers - which it often doesn't so you have to do it multiple times.
