    OK - when I checked out the CT200h I was fairly sure it didn't have one - but I didn't try SPORT Mode. Maybe other LEXUS' (LEXI?) do the same.

    WOW - having a bank of 3 Tachometers for MG1, MG2, ICE - that would be such a distraction.

    Well, having a tach for MG2 makes as much sense as having one for the ICE.

    The Tach on a prius is in the trip computer. It's the MPG your Prius gets. Look at it often. If it's above 50mpg, tell yourself you are doing good and realize you have no need for a tachometer.

    The CT200h has a TAC and it can be toggled on all the time in preferences. By default, it's only active in Sport Mode, I toggled it on and it worked in normal and ECO mode but the wife prefers the other gauge it replaces and it's her car so.. No TAC in my Prius :(

    I reckon the clock would be digital, and analogue has been anotated ancient in the dictionary! :ROFLMAO:

    LEXII - (LEXY-EYE) ???? NO?(n)

    Depends on what you buy - the picture I posted was a BMW 330e hybrid.

    Bentley seems to think that ANALOGUE is still the way to go -> for the co$t of 4 x BMW 330e hybrids + a PRIUS, you can have this in the Bentley Bentayga truck - not sure why it's not square on:

    The Chrysler 300 my company rented earlier this year had an analog clock.

    Nice - they're better for reading time at a glance - unless they're mounted crooked like Bentley does. Looking at these photos, the one with the hand (human (or maybe robot)) looks like it's intentional:

    Can kids today even read a dialed clock?

    Or cursive? Or touch-type?

    Full disclosure, I lost the ability to write cursive, decades back, guess from being a draftsman.
