IMO, I think that clock looks ugly and way out of place in a modern car. It looks like the clocks that came in cars in the 80's. Now I know they're trying to recall the 86, but they didn't have to do it with a clock. LOL

To me it's really old fashioned. It's the same like in my MR2 W3 from 2000.
And that was already a no-go...

Do you think there is a chance that they will modify it before they start the serial production?

I also think it is old fashioned.

and I also love it. I hope they leave it alone. It adds character.

Looks like the digital speedo is off 1 or 2 km/h compered to the needle.

Everything in the center console that has a back light looks dated (in pics at least) by about a decade, not a big deal though.

>_> What's all the whining about the complaining? At least complaining about the quality of a clock is considered a valid response about the car.

Though it does look dated... how do most modern car's clocks look like? I can't imagine them being much different

Slow news day? I don't think "nice looking clock" was one of the top priorities for this car.
