Having used touchscreens and the old dial, I personally think the dial is better. Touchscreens are great for devices held closely in your hand, but not so great when mounted on a dash, far away. Also with the dial, you can actually maneuver it while still keeping your eyes on the road; with a touchscreen, you actually have to take your eyes completely off the road to guide your finger to the exact spot on the screen. Then factor in delays and touches that don't register or double register, etc.. and it's clear that touchscreens really aren't the way to go.
As for the new C, can't say I like it, yet. I really, really dislike how 'busy' these new cars look (like this and the new M3/M4). And to be honest, I am not thrilled about the turbo. Sure it's faster but the whole point of buying a car for the big/stupid/pointless V8 is gone. I mean really if I wanted the fastest car, I would not have picked a W204 C63. So I guess Lexus it is..
You have a couple of photos that are great... you must be very good at photoshop!
