Ive always wondered why the base HVAC didn't look like the auto HVAC without the electronic temp readouts and toggle switches.
I know. My friend owns a 2008 Yaris and he has the same knobs as the ones on the 2013 fr-s. You'd think they would upgrade in 5 years...
Generally Toyota is the slowest out of most manufacturers when it comes to updating their interior.
Most manufactures are using LCD's and high quality displays, even for something as little as the clocks. Toyota is still sticking with the orange/red alarm clock style in their interior.
