Oh and its a bit of stretch from the current Stinger Dash to the Audi Dash. Keep on dreaming about what you want that Stinger to be.

Not stretching anything. Just talking about how dashes are evolving.

You can cycle the display on the Audi. That is what is going to make digital displays like that so cool.

Just imagine if you can eventually mod the software to change screen styles, fonts, themes and colors.

If I can put up whatever gauge style I want on it that is cashmoney.

Exactly.

The future is now!

Yeah, full LCD displays ARE going to happen in regular cars. There's so much more the manufacturers car do with it. I could sit here and think of practical applications for virtually any class car (minvans, Full Size Sedans, sports cars) but sporty(s) cars have the most potential for awesomeness with and LCD display.

simmode1 · 02-18-2014, 10:42 AM

Wow. Never really considered the coolness of the LCD instrument cluster applications. I'm still stuck on wanting an S13 with HUD and NX2000 digital display cluster... lol

***Future240*** · 02-18-2014, 01:22 PM

And why stop at gauges? Imagine having a small 3X5 led strip that can double as gauges. Ala GTR except on a smaller scale, that you can program to whatever you like.

*kingkilburn* · 02-18-2014, 01:25 PM

Put your screen in drag mode and have it be small tach and a giant shift light.

For road trips you can have a giant digital speedo and temp guage with a map in corner.

Pulling a trailer? Have it show oil and trans temps.

Have a bunch of kids in a minivan? Have it show you which seats have weight on them and seatbelts buckled.

So many applications.

While I'm still giggling from the fact that ALL of the Kia designers own Porsches (and not 70's Nissan economy cars), the fact that Mike and Zack are "experts" that keep saying *poorsch* has my eye twitching.

Welp...sorry Japan, I sold out. I'm currently leasing a Kia Optima EX with leather trim. This shit is bossss!

The high quality finish of the interior, the styling, the comfort, the non existent road noise, the standard features, the quick responding engine...all for less than the cost of a base Civic.

Yeah man, they're very nice. After riding around in the turbo one, I have no idea why anyone would pick an Accord or Altima.

*exitspeed* · 03-26-2014, 07:22 AM

The NEW Sonata is a winner too.

I sat it in the Hyundai sedans and it is way too uncomfortable for me. That whole design with the center console swooping up the way it does, pushes into my right knee and is annoying. Hyundai's interior finish was not as impressive in comparison to the Kia interiors. All the touch and feel areas in the Kia's are superb. I also test drove a fully loaded Fortre and I would have been happy with that as well.

I'm talking about the new NEW one that just announced. The interior is new too. I prefer the new styling as well.

NEW 2015

***Future240*** · 03-26-2014, 08:18 AM

^^^I must admit that is pretty damn nice. The only minor complaint I have is the steering wheel looks chunky but honesetly that is nit picking.

Matej · 03-26-2014, 12:28 PM

So those headlights on the Stinger are too low to be legal in the US, yes?
That is why the S13 coupe received pop-ups here, yes?
Or has the law changed since then, yes?

Headlights too low on the Stinger? Yes per DOT. Headlights on S13 Silvia too low at the time? No, the problem with the Silvia front was it was not crash safety tested. So it had no DOT approval. Plus it would have cost Nissan time and money to bring a full on Silvia in and crash it. They already had crash tested the 180sx front, slap it on and call it a day. Economics plain and simple.

Ahh, I see they did get rid of the swooping center console (the silver part next to the shifter in the first pic)....but yes, my steering wheel is nicer.

Homeboyx · 03-26-2014, 04:13 PM

Sure sounds like a winner. Adding to the "updated version of the S30 hatch" comment, the rear quarter glass reminds me of the S30 2+2... but that's just me though.
