Exactly...

I have an iPhone. It makes calls and stuff!! I personally don't understand the "phone wars". I don't give a crap what phone anyone else on this forum uses.

My bad, I'll try harder to hide my hate of all things Apple. They make it difficult by suing everyone on earth though.

There's an off topic forum if you want to get on an anti-apple soap box.

+1 on that, build your own for way cheaper.

It's Apple.

But I would just build a mini-atx form factor pc and run a screen off it with touch software installed on windows. Done deal.

The nav system looks a lot different than the one as seen in this video

i like the one in this picture a lot. we need more pics though!

if it's going to be, what i think it's going to be (or hope), then the volume control will be touch sensitive! that would fuckin kill it

Amen to that brother but i cant help but wonder if this screen can/will be able to have a function like Nissan screens.

Nav man, Gauges and radio/entertainment all in 1.

Similar to this, personally i think its only a software thing and i cant see why not.

If so and its $2000 then ill get it for sure.

Give me less technology. I want a stripped down driver. Keep your Navis and touch screens for people that don't know how to appreciate a drivers car.

One day when a phone or a tablet can be used to control and track car computer, we will have something like GT-R for every car on the road. It's just the matter of time.

All good Dark, i just thought if Nissan has it why not Toyota if its going the touch screen direction. Just seems like a wasted opportunity.

If you dont want it then dont buy it.

I was also wondering if this car was ever going to be made to order at buyer discretion. I mean as in the very basic model available to anyone, say for 22k USD then you add the wheels you want, trim package etc etc that way i dont end up with stuff i dont want.

Works for Subway i guess.
