Planned obsolescence and lasting a lifetime

I hope Scout has lots of physical buttons so when the screen breaks, I won’t be left to rely on it. Also, I hope they make the vehicles easy to repair for the owner. That way you don’t have to take it to a dealership every time you need to do an oil change or fix something minor I just hope they don’t add lots of bloat to the car to make it trendy and try to keep the vehicles as reliable as they can

Question, I always have a question, the Scout has lots of buttons. Are you asking for more buttons in the Scout or is this in reference to other vehicles without buttons?

Sounds like it's in reference to the dangerous button-less trend.

Hopefully the NHTSA starts docking a star from these vehicle safety ratings for omitted common buttons.

I personally don’t want any more. As someone posted the other day-Porsche has got too many buttons and they are all low profile, similar shape and must take some time to get used to the location without looking

I agree. I think it’s perfect as far as buttons go. I test drove a Macan. Ridiculous amount of buttons. Same with corvette. Just too many.

Also, just because you have a nice big screen doesn't mean that EVERYTHING is controlled through the infotainment screen
