Are there configurations for features that you think all manufacturers should be offering in the same manner? Take radio and HVAC controls as a splendid example — each car seems to have a confusing array of button and/or knobs. We hold the opinion that knobs are the best way to control volume and tuning, and fan and temperature. It’s easier to measure how much up or down you’re adjusting things without taking your eyes off the road, whereas a button is much more difficult … provided you don’t press the wrong button.
In the sixth episode of Drive the Bid, Derek Shiekhi, “Jalopy Jeff” Sutton and I select several other features common to cars and how we feel an implicit commitment to ergonomics and common sense should outweigh reinventing the wheel.
Other discussions include the upcoming Chrysler Airflow, the record-breaking Rimac, and the unholy MSRP of the Nissan GT-R.
We also discuss our favorite automobiles that are currently on AutoHunter: 1967 Mercury Cougar, 1970 Dodge Charger R/T and 1992 Chevrolet Corvette convertible. All this can be seen in the above video from AutoHunter Cinema, created by the experts behind ClassicCars.com, the world’s largest online collector car marketplace. AutoHunter brings forth a dedicated live customer support team, quicker auction listings and exclusive benefits for both buyers and sellers.
