Since when do the italians pull off electronics well in their cars?

Anyone afraid of the potential repair bills... I can just see it now. Dash cluster replacement: 30K + Labor.

(That being said I secretly think the screens look gorgeous!)

Looks Cool, but i wouldn't want that in my ferrari - I would much rather have standard displays, minimalistic = weight savings, ease of repair. Interested to see what they will do with the "light weight" version.

This is the absolute truth! I love the displays, but I'd much rather have analog gauges where I need them most.

I'm pretty sure those are TFT displays, in which case they weigh about as much as a piece of paper.

I think they go along with the futuristic look of the 458, and I appreciate how they've kept the tach "classic." I've said it before, but I hate that silver plastic-looking vent trim. Needs to be CF.
