Can't say I'm looking forward to this at all, really. It's a Q5....

Jeez! 30+ buttons on the center console and there are still 5 blanks! I hope Porsche realizes how dumb this looks on all their cars soon!

Where else would you put them?

:confused: Not sure, if I designed their center consoles I'd tell Dr. Featureshnitzel there's too many push button features, if he didn't listen my solution would be to just leave blank plastic space instead of adding blank buttons. But then again I'd be fired as it wouldn't compel customers to wanting to order the big budget models to rid the center console of empty buttons. :lol:

Looks like a Mazda?

This is correct. In NY these are going to literally be everywhere. Makes me wish I had a dealership at the moment.

Regarding the buttons on the center console that is way to many. Porsche should learn from Range Rover and how they are cutting down on buttons. Some are cool but the many? Wtf?

Looks like the buttons around the gear lever and up control all climate functions...heated seats, fan speed, temp, defrost etc. I for one like that, click one button and I get what I want, not scrolling through many options and clicking back to change another if it were on the display screen.

I'm in the market for a car this size now to replace our aging XC-90. I would strongly consider this over a Q5 S-Line or X3.
