I can't believe Porsche went to the trouble of embedding the Nav system into the gauges for the newer cars.

I know it looks terrible. Particularly when the car is off. The boxster and 911 of our style is by no means known for its interior, but I still love the way the gauges look illuminated at night, both the silver trim white dials and the black base ones. I couldn't imagine sitting in a porsche and seeing a black screen in one of the dials. I personally really like the 918s gauge style, lots of info but keeps the sat nav off to the side.
